I do half an hour of normal browsing (no youtube or flash videos) like check my bank account, visit few forums, check email etc. and my MBA's CPU cores max out while the temp stats at 65-68C, I regularly monitor it with iStat. To remedy this problem, I put it to sleep for a minute or two and the air is ready to use for next half an hour.
In the past it had two problems, once when it's fan stopped spinning i.e. stayed at 0rpm and second time when it's lcd developed white spots in the middle of the screen. Apple fixed both under warranty.
Now can someone please advise me as to what could be the problem with it?
TIA.

Download iStatPro and see what is causing the cpu to heat up, it's a free widget. I had FF a month ago start grabbing 100% when I was playing a Yahoo game. What was causing the problem was adblocker. The normal tabs were not there. I just uninstalled adblocker and re installed the latest version and all was well.

run a built in program called activity monitor.
sort by % CPU, and figure out which processes are the problem.
