Hi everyone.
I have a DQ45CB which is having problems with the chipset. It has a temperature of 70C (158F) but the CPU has 40C (140F) with almost no load.
Today a just simply install some missing drivers due to a new Windows 7 x64 installation and I upgrade the BIOS (I think that was my mistake). Don't remember really good the older version but I think it was 0059 and the year was 2008. I tried to upgrade to 0133 but it completely crash so I did a BIOS recovery with 0103 version. It worked but after that I realize that the temperature is too high, or at least thats what I think. Don't know if thats its normal temperature. So i downgrade it to 0059 version because that was the number I remember but it didn't work. Then I upgrade it through the next new version until I get again to 0103 version, after trying to reflash again didn't work correctly. It says that the upgrade was sucessfull but the version doesn't change. I have to realize that maybe I screw up the board and it will not have the same performance. My plan for this computer was for studying and a little of gaming.
I hope you can help me. If you need more info ask me, I really want this computer working great.

Recently replace the thermal paste on the CPU
