as expected, they suggested i update my BIOS, which i unwillingly did. luckily, my saved overclock file was lost...so now i get to spend the evening trying to remember what everything was set at  >:(

im not sure what else i can ask of them, since my system is still working as it should be since the evening it gave me fits  ???

You don't need to ask them anything, Wicked_Sludge, you just need to point out that you've encountered this problem and that, if the bug is left unfixed by Gigabyte, it would threaten the whole stability of the computer, as it results in the fans turning off and, in reality, the CPU temperature sky-rocketing! The fact that you yourself have side-stepped the standard arrangement now and that it doesn't remain a problem for you is hardly the point.

It's abundantly obvious to me and to many others who've encountered it that there's something really badly wrong with the way that the BIOS interprets the CPU temperature. It looks as though the BIOS can only interpret within a very small range and, particularly when the other BIOS energy-saving settings are used, gets out-of-range and can't recover. This bit of the software has been used across BIOSs in a good number of P55 boards.

Hello all,

After one year of perfect work today i got this problem too... my Bios ver is F4
Thank God 4xcore temps still showable...

Does newest BIOS version helps to solve this problem ?

no. upgrading the BIOS does not seem to help the problem.

So.. one year later, is there is a solution?

My mobo has flipped the crazy temperature switch too...
First thing I noticed was that Speedfan was reporting -128 for CPU temp, but accurately reporting individual core temps.
Rebooted, BIOS is reporting -40, and now Speedfan is also reporting -40.
