Anyway, I'm pretty sure now that it is likely to be Malwarebytes running a scan whenever I turn on my computer.
I'll keep an eye on it, though.
Software will cause a processor to warm up, given heavy usage, which is why a cooling fan is always attached, close to the processor, to provide the right air flow in order to keep that temperature under control.
Often. the thermometer ups the rotor speed to keep the airflow, and temperature, right.
That's the way it's designed.
There will also be a temperature check which will shut the machine down if the processor does overheat more than the designer likes..
The symptoms which you are describing are very likely to relate to the air flow.
I suggest that you, initially, ignore any pointers to the software.
