I soon noticed this message on the screen. Apparently, the system is measuring the temperature of absolute zero. At first, I thought it to be an installation error on my part, but reformatting the hard drive and re-installing 6.3 didn't change anything. This message still appears in 7.0. I installed 6.3 on a Thinkpad laptop but there doesn't seem to be a problem with that machine. A search through Google showed that other users are having the same difficulty but I haven't found a solution yet. It's quite frustrating as there doesn't seem to be a file which I could edit to reset ACPI, either is there anything in the desktop machine's BIOS. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
