Titolo: Soltek and Anti-Burn Shield II Problems!!!!!!

Does anyone here have a soltek motherboard that incorporates the ABSII
thermal protection feature?  I recently purchsed a Soltek SL-75DRV5
mainboard that incorporates this feature and an  Athlon 1700+ CPU.  With the
feature turned on my system is VERY unstable.  Temp 1 (CPU) under the BIOS
is showing 42C, the Temp 2 (VGA) is showing 51C.  Now the CPU (temp 1) is
well within spec.  What puzzles me is the fact that the ABS II Temp is
showing like 93C.  I have no idea as to hwere this temp is coming from.
Leaving the ABS II feature on causes my system to randomly reboot.
sometimes it reboots in the OS, sometimes during post, and sometimes it will
go for a few hours before rebooting.  Does anyone understand how to get this
feature to work correctly?  Currenlty I have left the feature turned off and
the system is solid as a rock.  Thanks in advance.

  Hi
  Have a question for you. I've just bought you motherboard SL DRV-5 and it
works fine but what I noticed that I have strange temperatures reading.
  After cool boot-up I have in bios:
  ABSII temp. :  57
  Temperature 1: 30
  Temperature 2: 55
  then in WinXP I started the Hardware Monitoring software (from your web
page) and got reading such that:
  Temperature 1: 43
  Temperature 2: 201 (remain unchanged)
  My questions are:
  1. What are Temperature 1, Temperature 2, ABSII temperature, and in what
degrees are the reading?
  2. Are my readings good or too high? (if too high please tell my what can
be wrong)
  My specs:
  AthlonXP 1800+
  Soltek SL DRV5
  NANYA 512 DDR PC2100
  GF4MX
  SB Audigy
  etc
  System : WinXP Pro
  I have a TermalTake Vulcano 7 cooler
  More...
  I overclock  by RedStorm to 1900+ the temperature 1 went up to 55, the
ABSII temperature not higher then 73 (with 1800+ 69)
  I updated BIOS to Rev. 1.2
  Please HELP!

Dear Sir:
I am Rex from Taipei Soltek.Regarding to this problem as below was my
suggestion.
(1) " Temperature problem "
    1. In bios,
      ABSII temperature represents processor core temperature (They may be
have 30C diversity between
      ABSII temperature and Temperature1).
      Temp1 represents environment temperature around cpu.
      Temp2 represents the thermal sensor temperature (you need to plug your
thermal sensor into RT2).
    2.On Smartguardian, "temp1" represents the thermal sensor  and "temp2"
represents the
       cpu. If you don't plug the thermal sensor into RT2 it will be show
unrealistic degrees
       Celsius. (If your Smartguardian is newest version the temp1 is
represents the cpu,
       temp2 is represents the thermal sensor)
    3.If you want to use newest Smartguardian software, you need to
reinstall newest VIA 4 in 1 drivers
       (4.38) and Smartguardian at the same time on my website .
(2) I think your cpu temperature readings are good.
    (According to AMD CPU core temperature standard is 95C (Max.) .
