All right, heres my problem. i just built a new computer (almost completely new, the PSU, HDD, and cd drive are scavenged, rest are new), and on bootup it gives me an error:
CPU Over Temperature!
Press F1 to Resume
so i press F1 and everything boots up and works fine. this happens EVERY time i boot up. now a while back i was getting random shutoffs (not blue-screen, just turned off), which i took to mean that my computer was overheating. my response to this was to take my 2 foot diameter house fan and place it blowing directly into the case. this has removed the issue, i havent shut down at all since i did this (this thing moves a LOT of air, obviously). but i boot up my motherboards software (things to monitor cpu temp, fan speeds, etc), and i immediately get the error that my CPU is running at 100 degrees celcius (212 farenheit), while my motherboard is only running at 27 degrees celcius (about 81 farenheit)... is this even possible? i AM using the stock heatsink/fan, but i still have a hard time believing that my CPU will run past the temperature of boiling water without shutting down, and that it wouldnt heat up the motherboard at all.
Help!
