I installed Motherboard Monitor, and as soon as I told it to start
monitoring my CPU and System temperatures, it displayed the
temperatures at over 200 degrees.
I thought it was spitting out erroneous information until things
started to go haywire. I noticed that System.exe was using
100% of my CPU. I shut down MBM, but the System.exe process
wasn't released, so I was forced to reboot. I had the MBM update
interval set at 15 seconds.
I then went into my BIOS and set it to shut down my system
if my CPU temperature climbed over 167 degrees F. I started
MGM again, and a couple of minutes after it started reading my temps,
my system shut itself down due to the CPU overheating.
I uninstalled MBM, and installed CPUCool, hoping it would perform
better. No luck. When I double-click the CPUCool shortcut, I don't see
anything, but the CPUCool.exe process starts up and shortly after that, my
CPU overheats.
Both of these programs end up looping and seriously over-taxing my CPU.
I know a lot of you are running these programs successfully, so
I'm wondering if you can tell me why my system is overloading.
It's an Abit TH7II motherboard with a P4 1.5G chip and 512MB
of RDRAM. WinXP Pro.
Thanks.
