Look for hardware fault? Fan?

1. Any fan failed?

2. Excessive dust build-up blocking air vents?

3. Temperature sensor failed?

4. Your HVAC or air conditioning system is not working and the room
   temperature is too high.

#3 is very rare. #1 and sometimes #2, #4 is more common.

I thought #3 was rare until they started crapping out. It appears that
some of sensors that Sun uses tend to die once they've been baked once - 
especially the sensor on the clock board of Exx00 machines. 

Fun, huh?
