the problem is that i found that the processor is running on 100% of it's capacity i guess it is ocerclocked or some thing like that and i don't know how to fix it actually the problem does not remain but if it happend again i don't know what to do

So if you adjust your power settings and thins does not extend your battery life, then I suggest you may have some malware or errant program running I nthe background using excessive resources and forcing the laptop to run at full power.

Do a decent virus and malware scan.

What version of windows are you running?

You can look at system utilisation (active processes and threads) and see how it is behaving at idle.

Hope this helps.
