I use a Sony VAIO laptop. For the past two days, it has been 90+ degrees in the Boston area. Today, my VAIO would not start-up. The disk drive area felt very hot. I was able to start after an hour shut-down. Is excess heat a problem with VAIO laptops?

I have a Dell 8400. In BIOS, there is no reading for temperature or fan speed. Is that normal? How can I get temperature and fan speed readings for this computer? Thanks.
