Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

Welp, my tablet pc (Gateway E155C), started hard-locking, where it would suddenly and without warning stop responding to any input. We traced it down to a system board failure. The situation happened after an extended time of the computer being in my backpack, when I thought it was off, in 70-80 degree weather. I suspect that the situation was heat related, but I cannot prove it. We had several of these issues in the school, which means it is a common problem.

I'm trying to find a decent program that will log temperature spikes.

I'm currently running Motherboard Monitor 5 and I set it up it email me when it reaches a specific voltage.

We can set all the tablets up to email the technology people when any of them spike in temperature, so that we can determine if that was the cause.

Lets see how that goes.
