Download the manual and see page 34. The BIOS does monitor heat. You get 
into the "setup" by pressing the DEL key during start up of the 
computer. As long as you do not make any changes unless you are sure, 
the BIOS is OK  to look through. As was suggested, when you exit the 
BIOS you can tell the BIOS to proceed booting without making any 
changes. The manual tells you how to navigate in the BIOS. It is 
normally user friendly. Some of the terms used are not.

BTW you have an Elite  ECS K7SA Pro  motherboard.
