CentOS - Dec 2005 - cpu temp reading - got bus error from tar extract

Is there a way to read the cpu temp from centos?

I have odd things happening on my computer.
I have had a couple kernel crashes..
today I was trying to untar a file and got a "Bus error" printed on
screen.
after a reboot the file untared just fine.

very odd behavior.

Without rebooting again I was wanting to check the health...

I have an Intel motherboard, 2.4 P4, 2 GIG, 2 brand new seagate 300G drives.

Thanks,

Jerry

Do you ACPI enabled and on or are you running APM? If you have ACPI on, 
you can see your CPU temperature from 
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THMO/temperature. There are other useful values 
in the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THMO directory other than just temperature.

Max,

apcid is running, when I run apm it says
"No APM support in kernel"

I am running stock 4.2 with all updates.
