ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a heating device, a heat radiation module, a first temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature at a first position on a printed circuit board, a second temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature at a second position on the printed circuit board, which is farther from the heating device than the first position, a temperature difference detection module configured to detect a temperature difference which is obtained by subtracting the temperature at the second position from the temperature at the first position, and a performance determination module configured to execute a monitoring process of monitoring the temperature difference between the temperature at the first position and the temperature at the second position, and to determine whether a performance of the heat radiation module has lowered or not.
