I've seen that on brand new pc's before from Compaq, HP's, etc..
Sometimes these "value" systems are built with such a small power supply
that they can't handle all the requirements and don't spin the cpu fan
with enough rpm for proper cooling. I had one that we replaced the power
supply, didn't help, but I was suspicious of the motherboard because
they put the cheesiest mb's in some of those systems. Replaced the mb
and the cpu fan flew, like twice as fast as before. Something on the
original mb was not right with the power, and that system was no more
than 3 months old, the client couldn't believe it, and never got a call
back from the guy. Before he brought it in, it constantly froze,
randomly. Do this for some cool temp monitoring stuff...
apt-cache search cpu temp
