DP35DP and Q9300: Vccp out of range (0.000V)

hi

I have assembled a new PC. I am getting Vccp out of range errors from
the Intel desktop utilities

Following is the configuration:

Processor: Intel Q9300 quad core
Motherboard: Intel DP35DP
Transcend DDR2: 1GB x 2
XFX 8600 GT 256 MB PCI express card
PSU: Corsair VX450W
WD 250 GB SATA drive
LG SATA DVD drive
Lite-on IDE DVD drive
Cabinet: Cooler Master
Fans: outlet and inlet fan

When I had bought the motherboard, its battery was drained. The
battery had to be replaced in-order to upgrade the BIOS and also to
stop the system from hanging (when there was a CD/DVD in the SATA
drive) at the BIOS screen itself .

I have installed Windows XP SP2 (ACPI uniprocessor HAL had to be
selected as default install of XP results in BSOD
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error). The system seems to be working fine,
however the Intel utility keeps on reporting out of range errors. I
have upgraded to the latest BIOS and drivers from Intel; but these
alarms keep on popping up. Also, these errors are mostly present when
there is any activity on the network - if the network is plugged out
then most of the time these errors are not there.

Are these errors serious: can they cause any damage. I have already
changed the PSU (replaced cooler master 390W with Corsair VX450W) but
that has not helped in removing the alarm.

Please suggest if this is a problem with the motherboard or some other
component. Has anyone faced similar problems?

Its still close only to a week and I may be able to get a replacement
for the damaged component.

I have the exact same problem with an Intel DG965WH mobo with 8 GB RAM
and an Intel E6700 Core 2 Duo running Vista Ultimate. Vccp will come up as
0 but when I bring up the power display it shows it's in the normal range.
The Intel utility uses the network for communication with the motherboard
sensors (don't ask me why) and the traffic may interfere with it. I really
think
it's a spurious message. One thing I'm going to try is to use another
monitoring
program to see if the problem persists. If I find an answer, I'll post it
here and
hope you'll do the same should you find it first.

Tom I had written to Intel support. They replied by saying that it is
an issue with Intel Desktop Utilities. It is not optimized for Intel 3
series motherboard. They have suggested a solution for the software
however it is not guaranteed that it shall work.

I suggest that you write to them and get things clarified.....
