Question
I'm getting a CPU overheating error on X8SIL-F that is causing system not to boot.
The System temp is showing 99C and the CPU temp is showing "Over heat".
I unplugged the server overnight and it seemed to work fine for an hour or so.
Then it started to beep. What could be causing this?
Answer
Please check adequate thermal paste is used between CPU and heat sink. Ensure heat sink
is able to dissipate heat, no air flow blocks with chassis ventilation and fan is enabled for full speed.
