This article claims to be a way. basically you replace two bytes with 
0x90 "NOP" or no operation instructions in SFC_OS.DLL.

I've started using that for family too. Also got it on the desktop that
lives in the cupboard. Got McAfee on the laptop, but might replace it with
Avast! When it's up for renewal. Not decided yet.

Nope.  I had to enable Cool 'n Quiet.  It appears to be a bug in the 
BIOS.  MSI has just dropped on my list of possible AOpen 
replacements.  The bug has been known and unfixed for at least a 
month, judging by forum posts.


A few moons ago before this stuff was integerated into the die, an 
Asus board I encountered would record a 100C measure upon booting 
for a brief second and trigger the alarm before recording the real 
sub-50C temperature. Was annoying as that alarm was undefeatable in 
the BIOS and the damn speaker was integrated on the MB.


LOL!  I can imagine.  This is why engineers should have to be 
technicians first. :)

It turned out to be a faulty overheat warning.

Ok, here's one I can't figure out.  MSI K8N Neo4-F motherboard.  System
boots to PE and runs Burn-In Test Pro 4 with no errors.  Hard drive passes
SMART and BST5 tests.  It passes burnin with make buildworld in BSD6.  But
it won't install Windows.  It boots up to the point where you would 
normally

see the screen to go to Repair (via recovery console) or Enter to install
Windows, and it turns itself off.  If I use OPK, it goes through the 
initial
OPK steps to install configuration set, then shows the first Windows 
screen

where it tells you there are 25 minutes to go, and then reboots and shuts
itself off within a few seconds (I couldn't see what it screen it shut 
down
at.)  It's a SATA drive, and an NForce 4 chipset, so I can see the drive 
is

DOS, but for the heck of it, I tried installing the NForce drives via F6,
but no change.  I can fdisk and format the drive in PE.  Any idea?

"Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access 
real-time scanner, that is, you need to manually scan a file in order to 
detect a virus or spyware."


Which of course effectively makes it as useful as cork in a dam.
