Hi Peter,

Two ways.

In the BIOS it will give the current temperature, but of course that 
only works if you leave the PC sat with the BIOS loaded and nothing 
else, which doesn't tax the system at all.  It may be worth though 
checking what the alarm temperatures are set to.  If they are too low it 
will shut down too often.

Second, get a program called 'Motherboard Monitor' which runs in 
Windows.  Among other useful items it gives you the current CPU *and* 
case temperatures.
