Thread: Hot Motherboard

  1. #1
    I recently bought a SOYO motherboard SY-P4VGA (HOME OF THE DRAGON)

    I start up windows and hmonitor beeps my computer like crazy.

    Error:
    Mainboard is over the red zone threshold. Current Temperature: 185.4 F.

    I quickly shut off my computer and felt the motherboard. OMG DANG IT'S HOT!

    I have a WORKING CPU fan. I also have another fan to cool off my system. What's wrong?

    300 Watt Power Supply
    Soyo Motherboard
    Pentium 4
    Western Digital Hard drive (80 gigabytes)
    LG dvd-rom/CD-R
    Intergrated Video
    Intergrated Sound with ac97

    It's still working. I need it to be much colder though.

    I say if you can't get that mobo down in temp, RMA it. What's the warr term on it?

    My manual says 400 watts minmium for full system boot up. I only have 300. Is that the problem?

    Quote is closer to the psot then reply.

    Are you sure you're putting the right voltage through the mobo?

    That doesn&#39;t answer either of my questions.
    If I had the definitive answer about your PSU & mobo, I would&#39;ve answered.
