How can you be running a server with that small amount of memory.? I expect it takes a long time to start and show the desktop. You need to read the requirements for 2000 operating system. The temperature rise could be caused by the hard disk running constantly, swapping out parts of RAM to the swap file. Try getting more RAM, it is an old system, better still replace it with a machine that can handle the work load. You have to be joking, 256mb RAM?

Try to make sure that your internal CPU is not too hot too. To see how fast your fan is spinning, you can go and take a look at it at the BIOS try to check if your CPU fan is working and if it is not spinning fast enough to cool the CPU then change the CPU fan.

You can usually view the temperature and voltages under PC Health Status or something similar. Next, if it is running hot, check your fans, processor seating etc. Why don’t you enter the bios when you start the machine and view the temps before going any further.
