Ok, did this one. I touched both sides of the heatsink(not cooper) and ran the FLV test again. The temps went up, but the heatsink remained ok to touch. Slight warmth, but nothing scorching!
So how do I fix this bad sensor than? I can't process anything cause the system shutsdown. This is retarded...AMD should issue new processors to us.
Is an upgrade the only way to fix this? If so, what can I get for my Gigabyte GA-MA78GM S2H board? It says it is AM3 ready(not sure what that means).
I don't wanna spend too much money..less than a hundred(or even $70). I feel cheated by AMD. They should stand behind their products and fix these "known" issues.
