Hardware problems

One of our storage servers have been behaving strange lately. It could behave normal for 2-3 days, and then crash without any warnings. We couldn't find any thing wrong, and look at it for days. We first believed that it what a bug with the indexing software because it always was the program running when this happened.

It turn out that the cpu fan from time to time would stop, then start again. If we at the same time where using all the disks in the box, by running the indexer, the whole system would get to hot, and the cpu would overheat, crashing the server.
