I just bought a new Surface Pro 4 about two weeks ago. I am a digital artist and I use Photoshop CC on a daily basis, so it is essential that it works efficiently. Since the first day I've gotten this computer, the fans go full speed almost IMMEDIATELY after I open Photoshop and begin doing any function in it. The computer gets burning hot very quickly.
If I let this go on long enough, it completely freezes the computer (I am not one hundred percent sure this is the cause, but I'm pretty sure).
I am not tech savvy so any answer would be highly appreciated.

Hi, i have the same problem.
I use Photoshop on my Surface Pro 4 (bought in January 2016). For a few weeks/months now, when i launch Photoshop 2017, the laptop overheats, the fans are going nuts, etc.
The program doesn't usually crash or freeze, so no error message.
To answer your questions :
When i launch Photoshop, it takes between 15 to 25 sec to boot Photoshop up to the new welcome screen (with recent files, CC files, Open & New option). This is not the problem here.
But when i'm on this screen, the program uses at minimun 650Mo of RAM memory and the fans & heats are burning the computer.
And when i launch a new image (blank 600*400 px), it rises to 900Mo/1Go of RAM.
The processor is at a normal rate. High during launch (between 25 & 55%) but goes back down to 0/1/2% after.
Is it the normal behavior of Photoshop, please ?
Thanks for your help.
Have a nice day.
