Installed my Q9550 E0 tonight using Bios 17. Problem - after booting-up and going into Windows, the system shuts down b/c it reads that the cpu is at 103c. I reseated the hsf and everything is at stock. When I go into the bios, it will flash 67c for a sec but then goes straight to 103c for cpu. Is this a bios issue and maybe I should try bios 18?
edit - Upgrading to Bio 18 resolved my issues. First, it identified my cpu as a Q9550 which it didn't with bios 17. It also recognized the correct speed 2.83ghz instead of 2.89ghz. When I went to check temps in the bios, it went up to 137c for a second and almost gave me a heart attack but it then dropped down to 37c. It's frickin fast!
