How does one disable CPU Overheat shutdown?

[DunanParEll]

I have a Shuttle XPC SN41G2 and like quite a few others I've noticed, the computer on occasion will shut down for no apparent reason. For me, shutdowns happen when playing FPS's, checking e-mails, and even sending messages via AIM. I have run numerous tests on the memory, tried different power outlets and reinstalling Windows XP, but to no avail. My average temps always linger around 40-45 C and the highest I've ever seen the CPU temp was 51 C. Based on these facts, and the fact that I currently have no money resources to do any replacing of parts, how does one disable the CPU Overheat shutdown process, as I know for a fact if it is disabled, I won't burn up anything as temps never get close to anything dangerous. Thank you in advance and hopefully this issue can be resolved.

i believe its in the bios

Ah yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that. My overheat shutdown option in the BIOS is actually set to disabled, yet it still does this.

Did your motherboard include temp monitoring software? If so, it may also have an overheat shutdown setting you can adjust.

The motherboard didn't come with any such software that I know of...I'm just hoping there is a way to disable this, as it even shut down when I was replying to a message on here.

Maybe your chip is really overheating and locking up. :Q
