heatsink installation. Now restart the system. If the same problem
persist, it may be that the CPU fan is damaged or it is not rotating
properly. Tr y replacing it with a new fan. If it is due to other
contributing factors that resulted to high CPU temperature, you
may need to set a lower CPU temperature limit.

This utility is included in the CD that came with the system
