ok... how can i check for the system temp or fan speed in CentOS. I

You'd be better off just putting a thermometer in there. Those
sensors are not accurate unless calibrated, and not accurate
if they are calibrated.
But really, if the fan spins, and makes no noticeable noise,
and you've dusted out the box and vacuumed it, then heat
is not likely the culprit.
Mine was. My drive overheated and died. Painfully. Fortunately, a blue
ice pack under it kept it kool enough long enough to copy all the data
off it.
I ran this system for 4 years with XP. 9 months with Linux and the drive
toasted. Either:
The drive was 'due' to toast.
The constant drive usage compared to XP made it run hotter, longer.
