Checking CPU temp

First, not all BIOSes have hardware monitor functions.

If your BIOS does have the function, simply enter setup while the motherboard is running the memory test at boot. (usually the "Del" key)

If there is a hardware monitor function, it may bea seperate BIOS page, or an option on the power management page.

Otherwise, you can download and run a hardware monitor program.
Start by checking your motherboard manufactures web page, then independant pages that support the chipset on the motherboard.

You can also try your favorite download site, or the general purpose support pages such as www.tomshardware.com
and www.motherboards.org

Chas

What is the model/manufacturer of motherboard?
What is your BIOS manufacturer?

I have a hint to you, when you are in the BIOS setup. Find the String "Current CPU temp", "Anti-Burn Shield". This strings are related to that....

If that is new one, refer to the manual. if you don't have a manual go to the URL that THE CHASE mentioned.
