My freshly built system, not even 2 days old.
Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz 1333fsb CPU
Asus P5K-VM montherboard
2x Twinmos 1gb PC2 6400 DDR2 memory with heatspreaders
EVGA Gefore 8800GT 512mb graphics card
Thermaltake 430w PSU
WD 320gb Sata Hard Drive
Pioneer Sata DVD Burner
Coolmaster Elite R31 Case
I had dramas with BSOD, run memtest and found one of my sticks of memory was faulty. So went to remove it, noticed it was extremely hot, same with my graphics card and the northbridge heatsink.
So installed Asus PC Probe. Within 5mins of the PC being running the motherboard temp rises past the CPU temp (38c) upto 50c +. and the alarm sound when gets over 45c.
Is my motherboard stuffed. Or is there a setting wrong in bios. Or maybe some hardware too powerful for m/b. PSU not strong enuff. Or is there a way to cool it down.
