Hi,
I've been having some issues with my motherboard temperature. I've monitored it with the BIOS, coretemp, speedfan and AIDA64 and they all show the same temperatures which vary from 65 to 72 degrees Celsius.
I have an Antec 500 watts power supply, AMD athlon 64 x2 4000+ processor, Nvidia geforce gt240 graphics card and asus m2n-e motherboard with 4 1gb sticks of DDR2.
The processor temperatures vary from 37-45 degrees so I'm not too worried but the motherboard temperature is very high and I can't figure out why.
I do want to mention that the computer sometimes turns off by itself, that when I try to restart it it shuts down instead and that for some odd reason when I unplug my ethernet cable the computer shuts down. Also, whenever the computer shuts down (whether I manually do it or it turns off by itself) I need to power-cycle the power supply with the button or by unplugging the power cable and re-plugging it in order to re-start the computer. If I don't power-cycle the power supply it turns on but does not boot, it makes some weird noises as if it wasn't able to get enough electricity to start.
It was suggested to me that the power issues might be because the integrated ethernet adapted on the mobo might be fried and that purchasing an ethernet PCI card could solve everything.
I did not find any bulging caps on the mobo.. power supply voltage seems ok too.
Thanks for your help!
