</div><br>Well Craig, you have now exhausted my highly limited technical ability to diagnose this weirdness. The -12v rail "worries" me a little though. I assume (and I don't know for definite) that this could throw lmsensors and the power management into turmoil and result in this issue. Of course, it could be a display bug in lmsensors, or it could be a bug in your bios, or it could be a shagged motherboard (unlikely though!)
<br><br>BIOS upgrade time perhaps?<br>I'd certainly report this to the lmsensors maintainers via <a href="http://www.lm-sensors.org/">http://www.lm-sensors.org/</a><br><br>-- <br>Steve<br>Despair - It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black...
