I recently assembled a system using a PIII 866 MHz processor, and an Asus CUSL2-C motherboard. At bootup, I get a hardware monitor error, and when I check the bios, it shows my cpu temperature around 60-70 degrees Celsius. However, this temp drops very quickly while I am watching it. 5 - 10 seconds in, it falls back to the 35-40 degrees range, and it runs consistently around 35 while in windows 98se.
I am not using any thermal paste, and I am not sure if this would help my problem at all since I am only having problems at bootup. I'm just not sure what is causing this issue, and I don't know how dangerous it could be for the processor. I can easily turn off the bios monitoring the cpu temp to stop getting the errors on bootup, but I don't want to do this if the problem is real.
So, if anyone has any suggestions as to how to fix this, or knowledge of what is causing it or how dangerous it really is, I'd appreciate it a lot. I have assembled several other almost identical systems to this, but I never had a heat issue before. Thanks!
