Checking CPU Temp

**Tman5293** · September 19th, 2009

Hi,

I think i might be having an overheating problem since my computer keeps turning off at random and i have to pull the power cord out and put it back in to get it to turn back on.

I was wondering if there is a way for me to check my CPU temp??????

Any Help Is Appreciated!

Linux-monitoring Sensors

to install:

Code:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

to configure:

Code:

sudo sensors-detect

(and say yes to everything)

to display as many sensor readouts as your hardware has sensors:

Code:

sensors

With the Gnome desktop I install "sensors-applet":

Code:

sudo apt-get install sensors-applet

It always pulls in the required dependencies and then I can add it (Hardware Sensors Monitor) to the panel and if you right click it you can change properties.

Not sure if that would work in Studio or KDE though.
