Gaah! Athlon64 running at 117C ???! help!!!

Just a bios or temp sensor problem...

Strange, though - if it was a BIOS/sensor problem, why did the temp readings go back to normal after I reseated the HSF?

I still seem to be having stability issues. With Cool-and-Quiet turned on (at least, I think it was; it was on "auto" in BIOS) my CPU voltage was fluctuating between about 1.1 and 1.5v... now, with CAQ turned off, it's going back and forth between 1.488 and 1.504. CPU temp is a little with CAQ disabled, it seems.

We'll see if that helps with stability. I never used to have a problem with this machine.

OMG BBQ AT UR HOUSE TONITE! w00t!

PSU problem maybe??? Maybe ur PSU was overvolting the CPU , hence the temp reading of ur CPU. Just in case, if you have a multimeter check the voltages comming off of ur PSU.

No multimeter, unfortunately... for what it's worth, the motherboard monitor software says 12v is running at 12.314, -12V at -12.862, -5V at -5.112, 5VSB at 5.145, 3.3V at 3.360 and 5V at 5.134... (fluctuations of about 0.10 on the -12V and 5VSB rails, as well as in CPU voltage).

It's an Antec PS, 350W if memory serves... running Athlon 3000+, 1GB DDR RAM, DVD+/-RW, two serial ATA drives, one parallel ATA drive, GeForce 5500FX video card, onboard LAN/sound.

Impossible. CPU has safe mode built in that shuts down itself down when temp. reaches 80C.
