Could anyone with an AMD give me reasonable working values for the temp1 and temp2 sensors? And/or how to monitor the fans correctly? Or must I move to Intel?
Have you monitored your fans, to see if they are working properly? This happened to one of my boxes here, with an Abit motherboard. It blew during one of the heatwaves, with this exact behaviour as a result. It had an onboard fan, on the south bridge, which stopped working properly. A heat of 55 degrees does not suggest that it's the CPU ... that's well below the perimeter for an AMD XP. Check your Bios weather it's set to alarm you when the cpu is overheating ... a very useful function. It may also be set a bit low, since that function can also "shutdown" the system if exceeding the upper margin (on any decent mb).
Cheers, Steve.
