Sminlal, as for the temperatures, the temperatures where I live frequent above 95 - 104 degrees Fahrenheit (35 - 40 degrees Centigrade).
So perhaps temperature was the killer.
Can you suggest a remedy for the heating problem because even my processor Intel Q9650 often reaches temperatures above 70 degrees Centigrade.
The CPU temperature really doesn't matter as long as the temperature of the hard drives is reasonable. You can keep drive temperatures low by:
1) Make sure that the drives have plenty of air moving past them to keep them cool.
2) Make sure that there is space for the air to flow past BOTH sides of the drive.
3) It's best if there's not TOO much space around the drives - if the space is too open then the moving air might not be right next to the drives. Something like 1/2" to 1" of space may be optimum, as long as there is a good flow of air through that space.
4) The air flowing past the drives should be fresh, cool air and not air that's already been heated by some other component in the system.
5) For tough cooling problems where you can't supply enough airflow (in external hard drive cases, for example) use "Green" drives which produce a lot less heat.
