    Hi,
    I have a brand new Dell m4300, but it´s overheating and it seems the fan is not coming on.

    What happens is
    1) Everything works really slow, winamp will take up 30% of cpu usage
    2) Shuts of immediatly

    Anybody else have this problem ?

    The Everest Ultimate Edition Trial is also pretty good to use for temperatures, but you can't check HDD Temperatures until you get the full version. Not sure about HWmonitor.

    HWmonitor monitors all temperature sensors in the system and it comes for free. however its not an info program and cant do anything outside sensing temps and voltages
