Hello,
For some time now, I've been having problems with my Debian SID AMD64. I've 
already reported it to the list about the screen blocking and the mouse becoming 
inoperative. The users recommended certain tests to diagnose the cause of the 
problem. I ran memtest86 overnight without any problems. However, upon further 
investigation, I noticed that the processor temperatures were very high, 
approaching 100°C (96.97°C). The fans were operating normally. I thought it was a 
thermal paste problem. A technician ran some tests without Linux, and the 
processor temperatures were normal, even under load, at a maximum of 76°C. He 
suggested the problem might be with an application. I launched: *top*
and* *I noticed that a kioworker process was constantly using 100% CPU. Why?
Is this the culprit? Where should I look? Kioworker seems to be a KDE process, so I'll 
send an email to the KDE list asking for help.
Thanks in advance for your contributions.
