Hi. There is something wrong because the printer does not draw power from the USB. You can monitor your CPU temperature with software such as SpeedFan or MBM5. If it stays below 50 degrees C it should be OK. http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php for SpeedFan or http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311 for MBM5. Check your fan filters for dust build up. Also check your heat sink for dust. Blow them out (not vacuum) and that should help.
