Message: Subject: Processor Sensor By: Sarmad Zahid (IP: 202.61.56.*) Written on: 09-11-2005 02:33 Hi, Sometimes,when i turn on my computer after 10-12 hours, it turns off within 2-3 sec's.When i turn it on again a small melodic beep is heard and the system turns off yet again...after repeating this procedure the computer finally turns on and at POST it is displayed that "...the computer was shutdown due to overheating,press F4 to continue to run setup". Now the temp's these days in our city are very low and turning the system ON after 12 hours shouldn't heat up the system within 2 sec's! Intel says that probably the heat sensor is faulty. My System specs are as under: Intel D865PERL Board, 2.8GHz HT processor, Geforce 6600GT garfix card, 1GB RAM,400W PSU. What do you guys think?

Perhaps the sensor is surging when you turn it on due to a surge in voltage from the capacitors. The temp sensors not only turn off with a given temp, but also sharp increases in temp. Or I'm mistaken. Intel guys have the jobs where they can test this stuff, but they're also inherently lazy.
