Crap, Dave, totally sorry. I forgot to add that to my previous post. I wasn't sure that the one I took over by him was good, so I had him buy a brand new 550W to replace his 350W yesterday. Put your ass hat away, it was my fault you weren't informed enough.Sorry again on the lack of info. :-[

NP- I made my statement based on the facts at hand, right?

DrewKaree:
Ok. It's definitely celsius, and it's shutting off when it hits 85. I was incorrect on the LOW end, the temp shutoff goes from 50 to 120 celsius.

Also, to add more info to the mix, it's been doing this the past few days: It'll give the solid nonstop beep and shutdown before ever seeing a POST screen. Several times. Then, out of the blue, doing NOTHING different other than pressing the power button for what seems like the millionth time, it'll boot, with no problems. EVERY time I go into the BIOS, upon exit it does the long beep/shutdown on me.

Here's a few snaps of the BIOS showing the default shutoff, the upper limits, and the temp on die as it was when booting. Keep in mind, this temperature was read AFTER four unsuccessful attempts to start the computer. 4 long beep/shutdown's, and the fifth time allowed me to boot and enter BIOS. Upon changing FSB to Auto, it long beep/shutdown on me again. I currently am undoing everything so I can remove the mobo and check the backside to get the info needed to know which BIOS update to DL.

I'll take a pic of the proc and how the heatsink is sitting on it if I think it looks good to see what everyone thinks.

Sephroth57:
well that 57C isnt too bad, but youre saying it actually hits 85?

Santoro:
If flashing to the newest verison of the BIOS doesn't help here, I'd say it is definitely an electircal gremlin that is going to be really hard to trace.

Yeah. When it finally starts and boots into Windows, it'll end up reaching 85 and shutting down. No rhyme or reason as to how long it'll take to shut down.

Yesterday it ran for 25 minutes before it shut down. When we finally got it back up and operational, I forgot to shut it down after checking my football scores online. I went upstairs at the end of the game to check 'em again and realized I hadn't shut it down and it had been running the whole time - about 2 hours.

That link above lists the exact problem it's having, but nothing suggested at that link worked, except I haven't removed the new old thermal paste I put on when swapping mobos.
