surely you should go for a cooling pad as while gaming a lot of computer resources are put on to work and it directly affects the battery and power supply of the system to a great extent .. what the overall outcome reaches to the laptop is exceeding temperature to the extreme point ..

Your high disk usage might have been windows maintenance, it will do that after being idle for a bit, it usually stops as soon as it can when it detects that you are using it again, but sometimes it may be dealing with a large file and it may take a few minutes to finish that operation..

70C is 158F, I get those readings when Im on youtube or doing heavy processing..

I use a metal laptop cooler, but i dont need to plug it in, just raising it was enough. My HP has a design flaw where some of the exhaust comes right back into the intake, big dummies!

But when I have it raised, the intake can get cooler air..

Mine is very comfortable its pitched forward for easy typing, rubber non slip pads for my lap and the laptop made by coolermaster.

I have another problem now. I just turned on the computer after it did windows updates and it doesn't recognize my speaker/headphones. I rebooted and shut down the laptop and it still doesn't recognize. I updated the drivers, nothing helps. What should I do?
Thanks

Your 100% disk use may have been superfetch running, loading in your often used programs , unless it's a meaty laptop then turn it off in services.

The headphone problem , what does it show under your hardware list against the sound card/option?

I checked my device manager and this is what it says under the video camera and speakers: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" That means i have a virus right?
What should I do?
thanks for all the help

One option is to uninstall the drivers there from the hardware list and then re-install them (or let the system re-install them if they were windows versions).

As for the virus, it's possible, a malwarebytes anti-malware run might be in order just in case,
