I recently reset my bios, because I used UEFI auto-overclocking method (I had no idea what I was doing). As it turns out, the reset caused some bugs, one of which being this CPU error. I have no idea if it is a false positive, but today on boot was the second time the error occurred. The first happened a day after I restored the default bios settings, about a week ago. It didn't happen again until just now. My CPU fan is fine, and seems to be running perfectly (it is a Hyper 212 EVO). When I went into the bios, the CPU rpm option was in red, and indeed, it was running 20 or so rpm slower, but it ramped up normally after around two minutes. What exactly is causing this? My system is well ventilated and the temperatures are well under control (I monitor rather frequently). Could this just be a bios error, a false positive? I'm using a very outdated bios version, 1016. My motherboard is the Sabertooth Z77 from Asus. I've never had any problems before I reset. If I am to update, how would I properly flash it? I understand bios flashing can be very risky, so how would I properly do so? Is it possible that this happens because the default settings has some sort of threshold that has to be met, and I have to increase my fan rpm so this doesn't happen? I can't remember what the fan rpm was previously, but I think it was in the 600 range. It was similar to the default speed, I believe. If I could reset the CMOs, how could I do that? I have no idea where it is on the Sabertooth Z77 because of the thermal armour. Could that cause any harm?
The message looks a bit similar to this, although the one I received has more information and is worded differently: http://ntcservice.ru/stat/uploads/posts/2014-03/1395152...
