Well, it's not quite as crazy as the title but I've been having trouble with a system I built for my uncle. it's an Abit KV7-V with a Sempron 2600+ I believe, 512 MB with a radeon 9200. I can get more details if you need. Anyways, starting a few months ago it would just shut down and reboot, repeatedly doing this, sometimes after it had booted to the OS and ran for 15 minutes, sometimes during the boot progress so I don't think it's a virus. We replaced the PSU, for some reason the hardware monitor in the BIOS is detecting the processor at 200 degrees fahrenheit! This cant be right, the fan is sinning the Heatsink is applied correctly with thermal paste so I'm thinking either the mobo or processor is shot. Can anyone shine any light on this? PLEASE, thank you so much in advance.
P.S. I replaced the PSU because the computer would'nt boot when plugged into this power strip of his, sometimes when he opened the garage door the computer would reboot, and when he shut the computer down the case fans would still run unless you actually shut the power switch off on the bakc of the PSU. Maybe this actually indicates a mobo problem? Although the 200 degree processor temperature, even though it's obviously not true of or the proc would have melted by now still worries me anyway in regards to the processor.
