Abit IP35-E mobo shows CPU temp 98 deg C

[sureshkumar]

I have purchased two new systems as per following configuration :- Abit IP35-E Off Limits, Intel C2D E8400, XFX Geforce 8400GS, Seagate 250 GB SATA etc.....

Problem:- I am not able to install OS view system is not starting or shutting down instantly after 20 - 30 seconds. In BIOS it shows CPU temp 98 deg C, system temp 35 deg C, System shutdown temp set to 90 deg C (maximum setting) in both the systems.

Following suggestion already tried:-
(a) Thermal paste and Heat Sink checked and O.K
(b) Another CPU, power supply, RAM tested with MOBO and same problem persist
(c) BIOS settings set to default
(d) internet searched and only one related link found "http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110985" which doesn't have any solution

CAN ANY BODY TELL ME WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Try to run your rig with caby side panels open.
Try thermal paste like artic silver.
Try a better quality psu.
Try the cpu on another mobo.

Tell us what happens ?

Thanks guys for your comments. My problem is solved. I contacted Abit via email and they send me the latest BIOS. I updated the BIOS and the problem is solved. Now it is running OK
thanks a lot.
