What F5BJR suggests is a common issue when the stock cooler is changed for a more efficient but differently angled heatsink and fan on the CPU. Have you tried replacing the standard heatsink/fan assembly ?
Yes, same problem!
Thats why i changed with a better one.
This is the first time i have a gigabyte motherboard.
I have 4 pc, 2 for work and 2 htpc, all asus except this one with
gigabyte motherboard.
if you have : motherboard temp at 57/59° C
You have a problem with your fan's case or the external temperature is very hot

Do you think so?
Why the "CPU" temp is only 27/29° while the motherboard
temp is at 57/59° C?
Even with the "case Open"?
Thats strange...:!!
If i touch the chipset heatsink is very very very very HOT!
anyway...
could be the motherboard temp at 57/59° C that cause, while watching HD Movie
to freeze and shut down?
I noticed also that if i use windows media player to see the movie looks like all is ok,
if i use total media theater, that use hardware acceleration, it freeze and shut down,
almost all the time.....
