for those trying to help me, aka jonspd.

i installed using the cd it came with, this is a new OS and it worked fine on the last one that ended up dying due to hard drive corruption. loading up cpuz is fine, with everest's cpuid, memory testing, or any other part of everest locks the program up. i can run the stress test but i leaves the temp graph blank and the cpu load one works fine, but i cannot click on preferances, its greyed out.

also speedfan does not detect cpu temps either, core temp is working fine however.

either way it seems windows is not detecting motherboard sensors properly and i would like to reinstall them, but since its the mobo were talking about, i wanna make sure i dont screw things up in the process.
