Well I am having a problem. I just purchased the asus a7n8x motherboard, and also an xp 2400+ CPU. By default, the bios bus MHZ is set to 100mhz (then multiplies it by 2). My cpu booted up at the default as the 1800+ speeds. However, when I went into the bios, ,the temp monitor read 85C. I was like "WTF?". SO i booted up windows, downloaded the Motherboard Monitor 5. The temperature on there now read 42C. I then installed the ASUS probing software (bundled with mobo), and I got the same 42C temp.
WHile those temps sound fine, here's the prob. When I go to set it to the 2400+ speeds (133mhz bus speeds instead of 100mhz), it boots up as the 2400+. If I go into the bios, the temp is like around 100C. One time I got to windows and checked MBM and the Asus probe software. The temps came up as around 46C, which is fine. However, due to the Asus C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection), my computer shuts itself down. So basically, my temperatures are fine according to everything EXCEPT the bios monitor, but since the BIOS has the C.O.P. feature, it shuts down my machine.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem? My bios is the latest version of the bios as well, 1001.E. Please someone lead me in the right direction! Thanks.
