On Windows I use speedfan and on linux I use lm_sensors which is very configurable. Hopefully you will find these useful.

Rather than CHKDSK, check disk health (or at least SMART status) with something like Crystal Disk Info. There are ways to test using only builtins (e.g. Powershell commands on Win8.1 and newer) but the output isn't likely to be useful to most people. If a drive is already on the edge of failure, CHKDSK may push it over or may make recovery less possible by attempting cleanup.
