[CentOS] died again

Guess what?
It died again.

This time I took a look at BIOS stuff.
Fan rpms (approximately, two of them changed):
Processor region: 3000
Rear:             1500
Front:               0
Perhaps that is my problem.
I do have more fans lying around somewhere.

The last even the BIOS logged was from 2008.
In case it matters, the BIOS version is BF86510A.86A.0038P08 .

On boot I got a message saying that the CPU was being
throttled because it was over the temperature threshold.
IIRC the BIOS said that the CPU area temperature was about 80 C.
