Default Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

I have a couple of questions about my MB. (GA-P35T-DQ6) See System specs below.

FIRST:
I've been using this computer for about 2 months now without any overheating problems. Recently I installed Registry First Aid and during its scan the cpu temprature rose from 38deg cel. to 72deg. in just a matter of a minute. At first I couldn't figure out what caused the increase, but then I stopped the RFA scan and the temp quickly dropped back to normal.
A couple of days later I tried to burn my 1st DVD on this machine. During the burn the same thing happened again and when I stopped the burn it immediately dropped back into the normal range.
I have checked all 5 case fans and the power supply and cpu fans. All are working ok. I checked the cpu heat-sink to make sure it hadn't come loose and it's ok.

SECOND:
As you can see below my Bios version is F2. I visited the Gigabyte site and saw that the new versions are now up to F7. I downloaded the F7 file and expanded it. But when I ran FLASH895.exe I'm told that it couldn't run because my Command Prompt window wasn't full screen. (I even tried running it in Safe Mode Command Prompt without luck)
I then downloaded @Bios, expanded it, and ran that program. I clicked Find Bios From Gigabyte and after waiting quite a while I received the following: Can't get "bios.ini" file in selected @Bios server. I tried all the listed servers without success.
I couldn't find a .bin, .rom, or .dat file for F7 to download, so I couldn't access a local file either.

I'm stumped.
