when i disable hyper threading in my bios it stops the computer from starting up. when i enter the cpu settings in the bios i get a messege saying that the computer failed due to a voltage or overclocking error, two things that i have not touched, at all! do i neeed to change anything else in order to disable ht?

running an i7 920 on gigabyte ud3r.
 
i will not really need it for the next couple of months, and as it causes a lot of heat i would like it off for the time being.

even though, i would like to know why it will not start with it off.

any help with the issue would be great!

thanks for replying
 
not wrong as in wrong motherboard but as in an older one, sorry for the confusion!

really odd thing is that when i disabled HT, the temps of my cpu actually increased by 2 - 3C instead of lowering it considerably which very odd. so after all of this i have now enabled it again.

anyone else experienced this?
