PC overheating too much while playing games on VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX
I have been experiencing high CPU/GPU usage and overheating while playing games on VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX, temps goes up to 87+°,
my SPECS are:
CPU = AMD A10 - 5745M
GPU = Radeon HD 8610G + 8600M dual graphics
Ram = 8 GB
OS = Win 8.1
I don't know how to reduce CPU/GPU usage on a specific application in this case ( VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX ).
I think VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX is a lightweight application, so why does it demands soo much power?

I found a temporal solution, I forced and reduced the overall CPU clockspeed to 1.0 GHz, manually set VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX.exe priority to minimum, and forced the AMD dual graphics to support battery lifetime instead of performance. Now I don't get Full speed on most games just an average of 52 - 55 FPS, but it is annoying, sometimes while the FPS drops I get sound lag for about 1 - 2 secons every minute.
Oh... and I forgot to mention that I don't have this kind of issues while playing games like Rayman legends, or using other emulators like, PPSSPP, Pcsx2, epsxe, Dolphin, Citra, project64, NullDC, Chankast, SSF, no$gba, ideas, Cemu, Mame, JPCSP, RPCS3, or while converting 3Gb videos using handbrake for example.
this issue only occurs when I use VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX.exe or when I use the Windows update manager
