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. :) T

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? T
