    I have been using Parallels 10 for a VM that runs on Windows 7 just fine, but recently I switched to using boot camp and using a Parallels VM that points to the boot camp partition. Since then, I've noticed that when ever I have the VM running my Retina Macbook Pro 2012 becomes extremely hot with the fan always on.

    What can be done to have it so that my machine runs smoothly as it was before?

    RAM-

    I am also having a similar issue, running Parallels 10 with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit and causing my machine to run very hot with fans running almost constantly. Have optimized as per http://kb.parallels.com/112091 and no resolve.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Jason
