Current Windows Update causing "CPU Over Temperature Error" on boot

[clsmooth]

I just kicked off the latest Windows 11 update on my PN53.  Upon restart, partway through the bootup screen with the Asus logo, the screen would flash back to the AMD bootup info screen, but with the error "CPU Over Temperature Error! Press F1 to run SETUP".  Thing is, my CPU wasn't overheating, and could hear the fan running.  Log into BIOS and the CPU temp & fan speed are at normal, expected levels for just sitting there.

With the help of chat, this appear to be a false alarm error, where something in the BIOS or sensor calibration gets tripped after the update.

While in the BIOS -> Monitor tab -> CPU temp -> Enter -> Disable

My PN53 continued booting after this.  I'm gonna keep an eye on it.  After a few more normal restarts that I do, I'll see if everything's normal and re-enable the CPU temp trigger in the BIOS again and see what happens.

 Excellent troubleshooting on the PN53! It's fascinating how a Windows update can create a cascade effect into the BIOS, triggering a false alarm that requires such a specific workaround. Figuring out the exact sequence to resolve a niche issue like this almost feels like consulting a specialized oracle. Speaking of which, for tackling other complex tech puzzles, I've found that using a cutting-edge tool, like getting insights from the grok ai apk, can sometimes provide that "outside-the-box" perspective needed to find a solution. Hopefully, your fix remains stable and Asus pushes a patch soon

Same thing has been happening for me for the last, what? 20 windows updates? Going to bios and exiting does the trick. It only happens after Windows Update reboots.

Ah, OK.  First time it happened to me after a Windows update.  Chat did mention it can be a fairly common false-alarm.  I'll keep an eye on things...

That's a clever workaround for that false temperature error on your PN53! It’s interesting how a system update can misalign sensor readings, creating an alarm for a problem that doesn't exist. This kind of digital false positive reminds me of the importance of verifying information directly at the source, whether it's a PC's BIOS or an official traffic notice—for example, the most reliable way to confirm any potential fines is always through the dedicated government site for an echallan check karachi. Great job troubleshooting; hopefully, your next restart with the trigger re-enabled goes smoothly and confirms it was just a temporary post-update glitch

That's a frustrating but fascinating glitch—it sounds like the Windows 11 update triggered a phantom sensor alert in your BIOS, creating a digital "false alarm" much like how an outdated map might mislead you with a road that no longer exists. Your troubleshooting was spot-on; bypassing the erroneous trigger in the monitor settings was the correct workaround to get your PN53 back on track. It's a great reminder that sometimes our systems need a quick recalibration, whether it's a BIOS sensor or our own internal navigation—speaking of which, for anyone who appreciates clear and accurate layouts, I always find it helpful to consult a reliable resource like the Michigan County Map to get a proper bearing. Hopefully, a future BIOS update from Asus will permanently resolve that sensor calibration for you!
