Those processes are related to ChiliASP.  A few weeks ago I ran into a situation
with an ASP shopping cart program that was executing bad MySQL queries and
caspeng and mysqld were just running on and on...

That temp, 45, you mentioned earlier seems a bit high, so heat could be an
issue, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad fan.

With that same shopping cart, when I was doing a bulk import of around 11,000
products, the temp really ran up as well -- to the point when I ran the import a
second time, shortly after the first, the CPU overheated and all services shut
down until the CPU cooled off.  I only just discovered the load the import was
putting on the CPU after that second time when it shut everything down.

Another thing I noticed, not really related to that shopping cart, was that I
was having some weird problems with a new site -- it seemed to just die at least
once within every 24 hour period for several days.  During the same period I was
having problems with that buggie RAID thing after a patch taking forever to
mirror disks.

After i reset the speed limit as recommended by Bruce several weeks ago ---

echo 5000 > /proc/sys/dev/md/speed-limit

---  RAID is back to normal and the site hasn't died since...

Maybe somewhere in the above, you can find something else to go on....
