Bitcoin-Qt is shutting down my laptop I am running Bitcoin-Qt, and it is shutting down my laptop while trying to synchronize. I even tried on a different laptop with the same result of shutting itself down.

This situation happens while synchronizing, the CPU usage and the CPU temperature raises dramatically and the computer doesn't have any other option than shutting itself down before becoming permanently damaged. How can I fix this problem?

Here are some of the system details:

Samsung R730 laptop with


4&nbsp;GB RAM
Intel Core i3 dual core processor
Arch Linux system
You can limit CPU (even per core) usage per process. Doing so would keep your CPU cycles low and wouldn't cause all that trouble to your computer. 

The best way to do this is to set soft limits directly to your O/S, as described here.

A freeware that also works is: cpulimit, although I would strongly suggest you tune you real-time process management directly from your console, as described above.
