The BIOS itself, during POST, makes very funny noises (instead of the customary two beeps) and then stops with a message stating that the system was shut down due to termal event.
I have to acnowledge it by pressing F4.
Then the boot proceeds normally.
One other strange thing is some of the filesystems I have are found "clean".
In the event of a catastrophic crash I would expect to find all the mounted filesystems dirty.
What am I missing?

I see nothing to that effect.
I only have a "monitoring" option that shows temperatures, voltages and fan speeds.
If there is some control funcrtion must be hidden somewhere else.
Next time I reboot I will have a closer look to all the options in order to see if I missed something.
BTW: Murphy strikes again: this night the system survived with no problems :)

On, thanks. I will do likewise.
Any idea about the fan-control problem?
Thanks for Your time
