594618 2007-10-01 03:47:00 It still sounds a little like overheating problems, CPU's and M/B's are quite robust really but it's possible the heatsink still isn't on properly or something was damaged from before.

Speed Fan probably doesn't understand your M/B, asus should have provided some monitoring software with the M/B I recommend installing it and keeping an eye on running temperature for a while. If the M?B is reporting this fan speed even with asus's own software something is wrong

Without knowing your CPU I can't tell you absolute figures, but anywhere in the 30-60 degree range is fairly safe, if it's getting hotter than this I'd be concerned, and over 70 is a real worry.

If you can't get monitoring software to work you can get the idle temperature & FAN speed from the BIOS, this should be roughly somewhere around 35-45 degrees dpending on your case, heatsink etc.

Have a look at the CPU temperature, and see what it does over several minutes.

594620 2007-10-01 04:23:00 Yeah speedfan is often wrong, especially on asus motherboards

Try Asus PC-Probe (though I don't like that program)

ASTRA32 or Everest is more likely to get correct readouts and are much better programs than PC-Probe

594621 2007-10-05 05:17:00 ok my pc keeps restarting out of nowhere, freezing and freezing in the bios and boot screen(the one that shows the mobo model). any one have an answer for this? deathracer (11825)
594622 2007-10-05 05:43:00 SIW will give you the same information + fan speed straight from Windows. No need to go into the BIOS. beeswax34 (63)
