I am working in Tokyo and thanks to the rainy season the weather changes all the time - plain sun & hot humid air / less hot & rainy / hot weather & sun again... It would be impossible to work if the air-conditioner wouldn't run all the time. Still - sometimes it is quite hot even with the air-conditioner running...


Is there some function (network / processor data etc.) I could protocol somehow in order to provide some more helpful information if the problem repeats?


If it was a weather related failure, this may help: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/


If your system supports it, MBM will monitor the temperature and voltage gages on your system, and the operation of the fans. The acceptable range for these stats depend on the hardware, so I can't give specific advice.
