Heh, did you have the option to bypass or at least increase the threshold?
A few moons ago before this stuff was integerated into the die, an Asus
board I encountered would record a 100C measure upon booting for a brief
second and trigger the alarm before recording the real sub-50C temperature.
Was annoying as that alarm was undefeatable in the BIOS and the damn speaker
was integrated on the MB.

It turned out to be a faulty overheat warning.

Subject: [H] Strange Windows install problem
Ok, here's one I can't figure out. MSI K8N Neo4-F motherboard. System
boots to PE and runs Burn-In Test Pro 4 with no errors. Hard drive passes
SMART and BST5 tests. It passes burnin with make buildworld in BSD6. But
it won't install Windows. It boots up to the point where you would
normally
see the screen to go to Repair (via recovery console) or Enter to install
Windows, and it turns itself off. If I use OPK, it goes through the
initial
OPK steps to install configuration set, then shows the first Windows
screen
where it tells you there are 25 minutes to go, and then reboots and shuts
itself off within a few seconds (I couldn't see what it screen it shut
down
at.) It's a SATA drive, and an NForce 4 chipset, so I can see the drive
is
DOS, but for the heck of it, I tried installing the NForce drives via F6,
but no change. I can fdisk and format the drive in PE. Any idea?
