Thanks for the tips. Very strange behavior here, though, when I google for MenuMeters, Safari either hangs or crashes!
A rogue application or process may well be to blame, I've done as one of the other forums said and checked the CPU temps after a fan "excursion" and the CPU's were pretty warm. I'll keep an eye on it in Activity Monitor, though some say Activity Monitor can cause some background runaways too.
