Subject: Stopping Seti when CPU temp too high with SetiSpy?

Using SetiSpy there is an option under the Client configfuration tab to stop
the client if the cpu temperature reaches a given imit (default 65C).

This is greyed out on my SetiSpy and I cannot find and way to activate it.
Any thoughts?

I have the client set as SetiDriver, which in turn is running the 3.03 CL
version.
My previous and other pc configurations have worked fine this way, however I
have a new motherboard (Soyo SY-K7VMP2) with Athlon XP2400 processor and
512mb PC2100 ram.

The cpu is frequently overheating, very often at the end of 1 WU and the
start of another.  I have checked the cpu and fan mounting, have the right
amount of thermal compound etc etc, but it's really frustrating to find your
system powering itself off every couple of hours.  I also don't want to fry
the processor or motherboard.

But - I do want to continue running Seti!  If I can get the SetiSpy option
to stop the client working that might help resolve the problem.

I'm just about to process my 13,000 WU this weekend - woo hoo :)

Thanks in advance.
