Well...It looks that both of your processors are too hot.

i just checked the temperature at the bios and is 52c what is the average temperature the cpu should be running on?

Not a Mandriva user but I am guessing lmsensors is being used here.
Run the command ' sensors '. See what it outputs. Notice the limits it shows.

Now more than likely if it is showing higher tempertures than the bios is showing then the /etc/sensors.conf file needs to be tweak to match your machine better.

Hope this helps.

lmsensors is that an applciation you isntall or is it supposed to come with the system?

i tried using sensors command and nothing shows up but thanks for trying to help
