I am building a PC for the kids from some of my old parts and some new. I have a Asus P5Q pro mobo, Intel Q9550 CPU, a single stick of RAM, and a Radeon 4970 GPU, and a 550W Seasonic PSU breadboarded outside the new case on my counter.
I threw away the old aftermarket cooler that I had installed in this system's previous life and now the previously unused stock Intel cooler is installed. The stock grease has been removed and replaced with arctic silver at this point of my troubleshooting.
Upon shorting the power jumpers it boots. Two short beeps separated by a few seconds typically occur upon boot. The new HDD will eventually get a new version of Windows but for now it's not plugged in. In the BIOS, I go to the temperature monitor and watch the measured CPU temp tick up from 80C to 110C and then shutdown.
I've got about a minute plus or minus to play around in the BIOS before it shuts down. Not enough time to flash it.
The thing is, the CPU heat sink is room temp to the touch after it supposedly is 110C. The GPU is putting of more heat that I can actually feel with my hand. All the fans are spinning well, and it's outside the case.
I'm thinking the mobo temp sensor may be misreading the CPU Temp and forcing it to shut down. Anyway to disable the automatic shutdown? I have a hard time believing even without a heatsink and fan it'd get to 110C running BIOS. Any recommended trouble shooting procedure?
