I was using Adobe photoshop pretty heavily on my computer, and eventually this heavy use started to work up the fan in my computer. It was concerning because my iMac started to get unusually noisy, almost like a vacuum cleaner or a jet engine, and it went on for some time, even after I started closing applications. Also, the computer seemed to be noticeably slower to respond to my actions. I looked in the activity monitor and this is what I saw:
The noise did not stop, so eventually I shut down the computer, and it is now back to normal, although I haven't put a heavy workload on it since this occurred. Why am I'm having trouble with my computer? Is this sort of behavior unnatural, and should I return it while I'm still in my 30 day warranty? This was the first time it got so noisy, within the first two weeks of owning it.
What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
Thanks for any help given.
