Hmm... The BIOS says the system temperature is at 25 degrees Celsius --
not exactly much, is it? Haven't got anything to measure the _CPU_
temperature, though...

Actually my cover is off all the time -- the fan is spinning, and not
full of dust (although there _is_ dust other places in the case). The
BIOS says it's spinning at 4500 RPM -- not a bad number either.
I might try to clean out some of the dust -- could that help?
