I have a laptop that is sometimes restarting and I want to check if it is overheating. It is an Intel dual core laptop and it doesn't have the temperature sensor readings as an option in the BIOS setup menu. I want a program/script on a live CD or bootable USB to read whatever temperatures I can for the motherboard/CPU/HDDs/etc.
Tell me more

In general you want to use lmsensors. There is a good list of supported hardware, so I hope that your device will be covered. Here is a good guide. |

Try any Fedora 11 Live CD. (Fedora Desktop Live Media.) Boot into GNOME. Right click on any GNOME panel and select "Add to Panel..." and scroll down to "Hardware Sensors Monitor." Select and click "Add." Viola, you should now see temperatures. |

From a WinPE disk, you can use CPU-Z/GPU-Z/HDTune to see proc/gfx/hdd temperatures. |

Just go like this: It'll tell the temperature according to your current locale, even, I think. |
