It was the fact that my new heatsink fan only spins at 2700 RPM. I wouldn't be surprised if the min allowable is 3000 RPM. Luckily I just plugged in the old one, went into the BIOS and disabled that option and now I am alright. Thanks for all your help.
yup, once you confirmed it was a soyo, i was going to tell you to plug in the fastest fan you can get, and turn that damn thing off. that's why i asked if it was a soyo, got me once too. glad to hear you figured it out.
