Ok so today I had to dj a party at one. So I packed all my stuff up and headed over there. Went to the house set up on the deck and everything, opened up ableton and started playing music while mixing into the next song the audio started to get chopped up and I looked at my cpu meter it was running at 138% So I was like dang what is wrong. I shut down my computer and restarted and then I moved some files over to my external cause I thought my hard drive so I had like 20% free space on the drive enough to run pretty clean and no problems.
So I load up ableton again and and I starting playing again its running ok after I mix a couple songs then I start using some effects and stuff and the cpu is over loaded again. So I shut down my computer and as I touched my screen to shut it, it kind of burnt my finger.
So I figured it was so hot out side that my computer was over heating and slowing it down. So I put an umbrulla over it and a big fan right next to my laptop to keep it cool then everthing ran smoothly after that.
It really sucked tho cause it kinda made me look bad but the host were really cool and they understood that it was really hot and it could happen.
I am in huntsville alabama for the summer and it was a high of 90 degrees today but felt like 100.
Do you guys no what I can do to keep that from happening again.
