Microgaming software 100% CPU usage, causing customers' computers to overheat and possibly incur damage.

It was recently brought to public attention that Microgaming software, when running on the user's computer, takes up 100% of the central processing unit, the "CPU". Other major softwares use from about 5% to 20%.

Whatever else full consumption of the CPU does, it certainly produces excessive heat: I ran a two-hour test on my own machine and watched it go from 52 degrees celcius up to 62, running a Microgaming viper download casino on autoplay.

In the past two years I have lost two hard drives due to inexplicable disc failure. I have also run Microgaming software for very extended periods. This may or may not be coincidence, but I am currently concerned that Microgaming may be causing users' computers to overheat to the extent that the lifetime of the disc is severely shortened.

Apparently, Microgaming are aware of the problem.

To date, they have taken absolutely no action.

Read the discussion in the Microgaming 100% CPU usage thread at Casinomeister.

Have microgaming sorted the overheating problem?

Have they issued any statements regarding the viper software cpu usage?
