Dear Ajit,
Check if the SMPS fan is working. Mostly these konk off. there will
be a small grille near the power socket at the back of the cpu. Put your
hand near it and sense if any air is coming out of this grille.

Subject: [linux-delhi] temperature
at home my linux box is tucked away below the table, and recently i
sensed it as much too hot near the power supply (at top, rear,
left). of course the room is not a/c. i had been leaving the machine
on "always" (as much as power cuts will allow), but now i don't.
i suspect that the cpu fan is not working. is there any way to find
out, without actually opening the box? i remember that in novell
netware there used to be a command to check cpu fan status. is there
something similar for linux?
maybe in the next kernel (3.0?) there should be a command "temp" or
"celsius" to get the temperature of the cpu. that would be real
"cool"!
