lol - at work we beat all of you 92*C!

(I'm waiting for extra fans to arrive)

flameable, shamable. It would have to get pretty hot to catch fire. And if it did, the show wouldn't be to bad.

My laptop does the same thing. When it wakes up from sleeping, the bios thinks the cpu is at 86degC, and the fan kicks into super overdrive mode. I just hit function-Z to reset the bios on the laptop. Not sure how to do that on a desktop. Seach google for info on this, that's how I found it but I don't remember the link.

Heh, newbie alert.
How do I check my CPU temp.?

if your motherboard supports it, you have lm_sensors
installed and a few other things.

My P4 runs a little hot. Right now, the temp inside the case is 79.5 F

So if your machine can actually run for a short time at 86 degrees celcius, I would be amazed as something is giving you false info on the actual temp. But don't get me wrong, reboots like your explaining could be caused by overheating most likely.

I installed slackware 8.1 last week using a bare p200. Then the damn thing burnt my finger afterwards. I got the message and heatsinked it but it was going hard for a good two hours.
