I ran memtest86 from the first CD, as recommended,
but it only got 50% of the way through
(during test 4 or 5, I think)
before crashing.
The crash occurred at different points on repetition.
so I don't think it was due to any memory fault.

I didn't find any such option in the BIOS setup.
But I'll take another look.

I have lm-sensors installed, and have run detect-lmsensors ;
after this the command "sudo sensors" yields

I don't really understand this.
Are there really 2 fans, one of which seems always to be off?
I guess I must read the "lm-sensors" documentation ...
