Lately my laptop has been overheating, to the point where I had to lift it up with some books on the sides, so that there is better air circulation. When trying to see what could causing it, I noticed that the system monitor gives me 100% cpu usage. But in the process tab, I see only two or three programs using CPU namely:

gnome-system-monitor; cpu 5-10; memory around 14MiB
firefox; cpu 5-10; memory around 300MiB
updater; cpu 1-5; memory around 2MiB
All other programs are not using any CPU (at least they show 0 and I have CPU as indexing priority). It's strange since the "firefox" is actually tor browser, I thought I would see "tor" process using CPU too.

What could be causing this?
Any other information necessary please ask so :)

Thanks in advance.
