Thanks Warp, I am going to investigate the possibilities you mention.
In the mean time, this morning, it started up ok, without problems, and
all temperatures are at normal levels. I really wonder what might have
happened.
Latest Windows update was on wednesday; the problem on sunday. I don't
think that would be related. Room temperatures are around 20 degrees and
even lower at day's start up, so that seems to be ruled out too.
It might have been a small piece of dust stuck on a vital part that sent
temperatures soaring up to 99 degrees (and that is now totally burned
up). Puzzling.
I'll keep my eyes open.

Thanks Stephen. I shall look at TThrottle in any case. This morning the
machine behaved like it should so I am wondering what happened. It
probably needed its Sunday Rest. I am again thinking that maybe a piece
of dust was stuck at the wrong place and needed to be burned down. The
fan is whole and rotating correctly.

rely on the duty cycle to throttle PovRay. When in hot countries.

Yeh!Show me a Pover that has spare CPU ticks to give to someone else. ;-)

It is worth having a look at. It will log your core temperatures and CPU usage
for at least 12 hours. Then send you an email if they go over a limit, if you
want. I see that there is a newer version out, I should give it a look over.

It might have been a core stuck in a loop and it just needed a re-boot. You
never can tell.

Good and PC fans are easier to change.

Indeed. They should do what they are told though ;-)

Not sure about controlling fan speed. It seems to happen automatically
in situations where external temp (for instance) is high. I shall have a
look at speedfan too. Thanks!

You can get task manager to show the CPU usage for each core
(Performance -> View -> CPU History -> One Graph Per CPU), it should
then be obvious if any of the cores are stuck in a loop.

I did not mean it literally. :-)
One of the irritations with my current, i7 laptop, is. Regularly the system'
process will use 13% ~ 25% of the recourses and the machine will be very
sluggish. But you never see a core maxed out.
You do with PovRay, though. :-)

Of course. I forgot to check that yesterday. Stupid. ;-)

My i7 PC does that too sometimes. It seems to have to do with some
arcane Windows process... I checked with the task manager and one or
another process was active.

instructions, it looks like it would be suitable for slowing down noisy fans.
