major temp fluctuations

[scroots]

my copy off mbm5 says every now and then that my pc is running at 72oC and it sets of the high temperature alarm. Click ignore and opens dashboard, and counts to ten before i get to ten it is back at around 26oC

whats up with it?
any ideas/suggestions?

my pc has just gone quiter.

Hard to say what the problem is but it may be possible to increase the alarm point. Temp sensors on some mobos are rubbish unfortunately, I know a guy witha Vapochill and 42oC P4 and one with watercooling with 60oC cpu, 65oC system. In your case - ie you're not overclocking right? - if the machine is running okay then set the alarm point higher, failing that just don't use the program; if it's getting false readings then there's no point.

I haven`t overclocked, my processor.
Its an AMD Duron processor 1100MHz, it did give good readings for a couple of months but it didn`t last night.
I had the exact same problems before my pc caught fire.


my back room was warmer yesterday, than any room in my house.

thanks
