all the fans are working. I'll try the memtest.... I don't have a spare usb drive large enough..... 

$ sudo dd if=memtest86-usb.img of=/dev/sdc
dd: writing to '/dev/sdc': No space left on device
128001+0 records in
128000+0 records out
65536000 bytes (66 MB, 62 MiB) copied, 21.5638 s, 3.0 MB/s
bmike1@MikesBeast:/tmp$  

I'll take care of it tomorrow
