It's possible with some heatsinks to put it on backwards (which results with the heatsink only makinh half contact over the area it should be covering). Air flow? Temp of the room? Most likely though: You're overclocking it. Make sure you have cpu and bus speeds set to Auto in the bios. |

It was WAY harder to get the heatsink on this time, but it's cuz I was worried about slipping and hitting a cap those dunces put too close to the processor area. Thanks for the idea though. As for air flow, in an attempt to cool the thing down, he had the side off and a 20" box fan blowing into the case. The room temp WAS hot a few weeks ago, but it's in the 50's here now, making the room temp 60-65, and he won't be turning the heat on for a few weeks. It's gonna be coming into the house in a half-hour or so, and I'll look at the settings again and run down the list of stuff to re-try |

85 has to be in fahrenheit... and that is not hot at all for an Athlon. Adjust those settings up to 120F or 55/60C |

Make sure it's not near a heater duct - saw that problem on a client's pc once. |

Sounds like the temperature sensor under the CPU may be flocked. Or like the others say, you have your auto shut-off temp set too low. |
