Meta Horizon Link burning my PC

My laptop is not the newest but never had any problems with gaming or work. It handles games like Cyberpunk 2077 and rendering programs without putting the CPU above 90°C (194°F). I haven't used my Quest 2 in around a year but I used to play a lot of PCVR games like Half-Life Alyx using the cable without any problems. Right now it's different. Having only a youtube video on Firefox my CPU is 60°C (140°F). Just turning on the Meta Horizons Link on my laptop (without my Quest connected) makes my CPU raise to 95°C (203.00°F) in about 3 minutes. I spend over 3 hours looking for the reason why my laptop gets so hot and this seems to be the only reason. Turning off the Meta Horizon Link app completely makes my laptop go back to 60°C in around a minute. On top of that, any PCVR game I turn on gets a black screen on my Quest after a few minutes, but the buttons are responsive and the game still runs normally on the laptop. I have installed Meta Horizon Link a week ago on a factory reset laptop but i haven't used it until now and I can't do anything related to PCVR. I really don't understand what could possibly be the reason for all that.
