i think it will be a faulty temperature sensor, however, pentium 4’s can handle up to 95 degrees, my pentium 4 3.0ghz prescott could anyway.
if it feels cool them it will be a faulty temperature sensor, is the temperture sensor actually on the cpu, or on the motherboard?.
with my pentium 4 cpu, i was getting 64 degrees at load, when i touched the AC Freezer 4 heatsink, it was barely hot.
so i had a faulty sensor, must be a thing with pentium 4’s :\

i figured it would be but im too busy running into little snags like this front usb controller… i put the usb jumper headers or whatever you awnt to call em appropriate on the mother board but im still not getting nothing… i changed the default jumper headers to 5+v too and changed it back and nothings working… its getting retarded because i see them in the device manager but anything i plug in is not showing up… any suggestions?
