697554 2008-08-16 00:46:00 Hi, my ASUS probe Program is reading my cpu temp as -104C and doesn't change from that even when the pc is under pressure, i checked the bios temp which reads the same and so does the Speed Fan program.
I have an pent 4 -3.00 ghz cpu, tried re pasting but nothing changes, fan is working fine, pc is working fine too, no restarts or anything unusual, any thoughts ? may be motherboard may be dying ?

697555 2008-08-16 01:06:00 Is the BIOS up to date?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
697556 2008-08-16 01:11:00 As Speedy said, make sure the BIOS is up to date, otherwise it may be a faulty temp sensor, possibly signaling issues with the motherboard, but I've had mobos go for years with stuffed temp sensors. wratterus (105)
697557 2008-08-16 05:26:00 Thanks for your replies, the system bios is dated 17/3/05, so i have learn how to update the bios, otherwise the temp sensor on the motherboard, thanks again, much appreciated. Tomy101 (12106)
697558 2008-08-16 05:28:00 Asus mobos are easy to update the bios on usually the instructions are on the site gary67 (56)
697559 2008-08-16 05:35:00 Thanks Gary, i will check their website. Tomy101 (12106)
697560 2008-08-16 06:25:00 You can even do it from within Windows on some of there mobo's gary67 (56)

True you can but it is also prone to freezing during flashing / updating.

Altho you'll have a better chance of fixing it, since its an ASUS mobo
