i think motherboard monitor 5 is fooling my computer into thinking it is overheating, or maybe it is causing it to overheat, i dunno yet. when i start the program i see the cpu and case temps in the system tray and one says 55c, a couple seconds after starting mbm5 the computer shuts down. i have the bios to shut down at 60c (i think) so i understand why it is shutting down but i don't know why only that program is causing this behavior.
other then the spike to 55+ when starting mbm5, cpu temps rarely fluctuate out of the 24-36c range from idle to double f@h instances load respectively. this is the pentium D system in my sig. if it means anything the same behavior with mbm5 happened on my opteron/biostar system. both scenarios the operating system has been xp x64 edition, perhaps that is the cause of the problem? kind of weird behavior, i'm going to try starting mbm5 up again but with everest also open so i can see if maybe its shutting the cpu fan off or something.
okay, i just tried it and as soon as mbm5 finished loading everest reported the cpu temp instantly jumped from 36 to 76c, and then the computer shut off. the cpu fan rpm stayed around 3300. upon reboot i went into the bios and the hardware monitor reported the cpu temp at 32c.
