Speedfan says 76C at idle... I reboot... BIOS says 26c idle, as does my temp reader... :-\ I'm gonna have to go with speedfan being wrong...

Yeah, it would appear that your mobo isn't properly being detected by Speedfan. It's just wrong.

Hmmn, this is one weird problem. If you want to try a different graphics card, you can. Even if the graphics card isn't overheating, it could still be the cause of the problem. If it happens with another graphics card, it's the mobo.

Well the thing is, it doesn't bother me in the least bit that it is the mobo, because I have to replace it because my current one has no PCIE slots on it, and just 1 AGP (plus due to an accident at a lan I also kinda borked two of my USB ports, lol)


So either way, Video card or Mobo, they are both getting replaced.


And if all goes well, I'll be replacing the mobo/video card within the next week or two, and I can always just throw in a crappy PCI video card (i think it's an ATI 9250)


Oh, and I know why the temp won't show up right, it has something to do with the mobo I have and it not liking certain programs, I remember reading that others have the same problem with this mobo.
