Awhile back I had a customer bring me a computer that was running Win Me. She complained of a problem that stated that the Pc was shutting down becasue it was overheating. I proceeded to check the BIOS to see what it was reporting as the current temp. The temp was well within the specs. So I rebooted and recieved the same message (note: it was a message generated by win me). I then physically checked the CPU heatsink and it was cold, fan was running, and nothing else seemed out of place. After pulling my hair, cursing, and all but beating up the PC I fdisked, formatted, and reloaded Win ME. The instal went fine, no errors or stalls. When I rebooted from the install the message reappeared. So I installed win 98se with success. No message about overheating or the such. My question is why would ME do this? How else could I have fixed without switching OS’s? May it have been a problem with the mobo?
