Happened again this morning, very strange as I don't think I did anything different...

I used my laptop all weekend at home, without any external displays, then came into work, plugged in my displaylink USB adapter and the monitor via the display mort and the displaylink screen wasn't working properly (missing bits of graphics and generally being unresponsive) so I waited for the backup to complete then shut down the system. After restarting I think had to put it to sleep to stop the drag no drop thing from happening, and then I noticed the fans going mental - quick check of activity monitor and sure enough its that same process.



I force quit the process and when it came back on it was fine.
