This is strange... found new BIOS v0502 on ASUS website for motherboard http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1366/P6X58DE/#download
Used AsusUpdate for flashing in Windows. No problem. Bootet and entered BIOS. Loaded Defaults.
Then, as I was scrolling through the pages and setting things like I want them, the PC suddenly shuts down? Started again, went to Hardware Monitor and could see temp was some 78 degree C - and climbing with approximate 1 degree per second
Shut down, let her cool a bit, started up and loaded Windows. In there temps were still some +65 degrees, but slowly falling.
After a couple of minutes temps were back at the normal 35 degree...
Boot into BIOS, hw monitor, temps steadily rising.
Back to Windows, a flash to previous version was not allowed through AsusUpdate so back to BIOS for using the build-in flashtool.
Exiting to watch the painfully slow erase, burn and verify process as I expected the thing to overheat and shut down any second
However the operation went well, temps are fine again both in Windows as in BIOS.
Now I see Asus has a BIOS v0602 in the download section. Am I right telling them to "Bite me!"?
