hey folks,

first build . . . 2 weeks ago

okay here we go . . . been everywhere looking for a solution . . .

system goes nuts when I come out of 'sleep' mode

using the hwinfo64 monitor latest build tells me this reading:

the ITE PCH jumps to 207 C

check task manager and resource monitors say all 4 CPU cores are running at max (locked up at 3400+) and recorded on hwinfo system main monitors as well . . .

ET6 used to tell me the same thing, until I switched to hwinfo, and here we go again

I am showing on windows resource monitor that the VDeck Audio exe. program is using 100% of cpu resources at that time !!!!!

gotta reboot to bring it all back to normal settings - normal ITE PCU Temp at 47 C

took vDeck out of auto start, did a sleep test, and sure enough, I got a reading today of 207 C on ITE Temp when I woke the machine up

yet all cores at 33 C, mobo at 27 C,  Intel PCH at 65 C - and these are always relatively constant

Gigabyte Tech says upgrade BIOS from F 4 to F 8

never done it before - not sure if its even a solution ??

any thoughts ?


update:

vDeck.exe not running
reloaded ET6 = HW monitor reads CPU Temp at 214 F !!!
loaded CPUID monitor = no comparable temp reading

Check things below ..
Which Z77 model ? don't know the bios to be checked .. however, updating bios to the latest version could be the first suggestion.
Your ET6 downloaded from Z77 utility menu? Some third party tool may not read data correctly but it should be correct using GBT official tool.
Any screen in your ET6 for checking it further?
