No matter what the temp sensors are reading, your problem definitely sounds |
| 9 |
like it's heat related. Temp sensor readings can, and often are not accurate, |
| 10 |
sometimes to an amazing degree. I don't know what type of sensor your cpu |
| 11 |
uses, but if it's the type under the cpu, it might not be in good contact |
| 12 |
with the cpu itself, thus giving false readings, I wouldn't be surprised if |
| 13 |
your cpu temp was really over 50C. In my experience, temps over 50C. with |
| 14 |
AMD 32bit cpus start giving problems like this, no matter what AMD says about |
| 15 |
it. Seeing as how you have an AMD 64, I'm not sure about the sensor type- all |
| 16 |
I'm saying is that the readings can vary wildly, and are not to be trusted, |
| 17 |
especially considering your current problems. |
