Hello,
my CPU's are overloaded, is this a wrong setting on my Notebook?
My Notebook gets very hot.
I have 2 x 4 GB RAM and the system monitoring only shows 4 GB RAM (See the Screen)

Have you tried running a different Linux distro to see if you get the same results in System Monitor? You could have failed memory stick? Which version of Zorin are you using and what is make and model of Notebook? Some notebooks can get very hot for any number of reasons, not least the particular kernel that is installed - have you updated to a newer Kernel lately?

Do you have Bluetooth enabled? Is Bluetooth in Startup Applications? If so disable it. Also remove Zeitgeist - it isn't needed:

I know you don't have a mobile radeon device but an nVidia one, this thread may help:
