Heat in one of the 2 Cores (Processor)

[notme]

Hi.

Straight to the point, my laptop (compaq Evo N610c) has dual core and I think it's only using one.
I think this because

The temperature of one of the cores is between 60 and 90 c while the other is 45 c stable.
When it hits 100 c it turn off
Speedstep it's on in the BIOS setup, fans are working fine.

The processor is phisically one, so if one is ok, then, there should be no ventilation problems.

This started right after (see link)

Yet, I don't understand what and why I did what I did.

How come a Log file can make my proccessor go 100%?

I think this is a driver bug. I mean, Fedora isn't using both cores.
Is there any way to check my hunch?

Note: Kernell loops are gone.

If you use Gnome then you can go to the main bar and click on System and then About This Computer you are going to get a window called System Monitor there you can choose to watch the tab called Resources. If you see activity in both CPU's i assume they both working if not then not ...
