Default Is a chip really this hot?

About a week ago, just finished building this computer with a lot of input from everyone here - THANKS!! :thumbup2:

My general Stats for this question:
Mainboard Vendor ECS
Mainboard Model A790GXM-AD3
Windows XP

I have run both SpeedFan and CPUID HWMonitor and both confirm all my hardware, fans and voltages are good EXCEPT what is in bold:
(My cpu is not listed, as it is fine...)

THIS IS WITH MY COMPUTER AT IDLE: DOING NOTHING - also get some negative voltages....

Voltage sensor 0 1.31 Volts [0x52] (CPU VCORE)
Voltage sensor 1 3.50 Volts [0xDB] (VIN1)
Voltage sensor 2 1.57 Volts [0x62] (+3.3V)
Voltage sensor 3 5.03 Volts [0xBB] (+5V)
Voltage sensor 4 4.86 Volts [0x4C] (+12V)
Voltage sensor 5 -9.92 Volts [0x9B] (-12V)
Voltage sensor 6 -10.05 Volts [0x9D] (-5V)
Voltage sensor 7 5.51 Volts [0xCD] (+5V VCCH)
Voltage sensor 8 3.07 Volts [0xC0] (VBAT)
Temperature sensor 0 31°C (87°F) [0x1F] (TMPIN0)
Temperature sensor 1 33°C (91°F) [0x21] (TMPIN1)
Temperature sensor 2 126°C (258°F) [0x7E] (TMPIN2)
Fan sensor 0 1923 RPM [0x15F] (FANIN0)
Fan sensor 1 2039 RPM [0x14B] (FANIN1)
Fan sensor 2 311 RPM [0x21F] (FANIN2)


I have done the following:
Turned the computer COMPLETELY off ( unplugged) for an hour
Turned computer on, it boots up real quick within 20-30 sec, immediately ran the program and was getting temps around 240F (!). - above the temp for boiling water!

Can anyone determine what this sensor is reading, says TMPIN2 -if that is a chip can it really withstand a temp of 250F+?!
Maybe the sensor is off...

I opened the side of the case, fanned air into it, did not change the temp, but made it bounce up and back - "up" meaning it went up a degree or 2 while I fanned it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Matt

It is either a bad sensor or your power supply.

If your power supply doesn't have a sensor the program will show 1 very high reading, which is what it thinks your PSU is.

No component will be running at 126 degrees, the system would either shut down the chip burn out way before that

Use everest ultimate, then see what you get as far as temperatures.

Also, what are your full specs?

Dont skimp on a power supply,if it fails, it usually takes out other components alongside it.
New? Dont forget to read the rules, Know them so you dont break them:)

that temp is the PSU i get a reading of 24c all the time and i know its not right. dont even worry about that.

What oyu need to worry about is these readings their way too low.

Voltage sensor 2 1.57 Volts [0x62] (+3.3V)
Voltage sensor 4 4.86 Volts [0x4C] (+12V)
