CPU running too cold?

Have your tried RealTemp? my gigabyte board shows cpu tem of 9 degrees on the software that came with it, when i installed RealTemp is showed temps much more like it i.e. above room temperature :)

If there's a windows tool just use that (and don't have a power cut).

(and Windows doesnt crash, the flashing program doesnt crash or any other number of errors)

From what i understand, the best way:

1) flash though win95 bootable disc (most reliable)
2) flash through bios itself
3) flash through windows (most risky)
 
The built in ASROCK software is most likely wrong. My Asus AI Suite is terrible for temperature readings. Only a few days ago it was warning me because my motherboard was apparently at -60 degrees! :o

If I recall correctly, a lot of motherboards actually read CPU temperature from a sensor under the CPU socket, and do not display the core temperature, so they're always way under. Normally proper readings from HWMonitor, CoreTemp or RealTemp are accurate though.

Your temperatures in HWMonitor there don't look all too unreasonable to me if you're running at stock.

Thats such a horrible thought. Imagine a freak occurrence during the BIOS flash in Windows and Windows takes a spat, hangs, or hangs the flash. So many possibilities for it to go wrong. Or a video black out.
