The boss bought a used Dell 1U, rack server. No more problems.
Game systems are Graphics intensive. Servers tend to be Data intensive.

It could be. Checking the work machine, it to is an i7, probably a newer version than in the laptop. 16GB memory, graphics card is "NVIDIA Corporation GM107GL [Quadro K2200]". It's an ordinary desktop, built mainly to be able to access the production servers and develop code for them. I wouldn't expect it to have anything unusual in it. Or in my Windows laptop.
Just retested it on the work machine. It runs one core at 100% for the duration of the count. I'll try one of the other machines at home, but, I'll probably have to setup a Linux machine to get another test case.
