computer help: how to get to screen that shows CPU temp, etc.

[sundevil777 102]

Do you have to interrupt the start up sequence to get to this screen? I can't find it within the control panel.

I've been having some resets lately that may have been due to clogged air ports, now cleaned. When this screen came up, I saw that the 'sys fan' speed was 0 rpm. The other fan was running. Should I necessarily have a sys fan?

I'd like to be able to monitor the temp to make sure all is good.

Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks.

I guess that 45 deg C is pretty normal. All seems to be good after cleaning the vent holes. I'm ashamed that I let them get covered so bad that it affected the system.
