    CPU temp sensor reporting at 107°C

    CPU temp sensor reporting at 107°C

    Newly built system, will not POST

    I just built a PC for my brother's friend. I turned the PC on, I get the one short "everything okay" beep, then nothing. It just sits on the motherboard manufacturer splash screen. If I hold down Del when I turn it on, it says "Entering setup...." at the bottom of the screen, but never goes...
