K7SEM & Duron 1.3ghz. Too HOT?

K7SEM Duron 1.3, H/s and cooler rated for a Athlon XP1800+. Problem is the p.c. will only run if I disable the Shutdown Temperature setting in the Bios. If the setting is at 60,65,or70 deg it will shutdown when the install/startup screen comes on. I assume that the Duron is running at more than 70deg.Is this safe,? Should Iget a more powerful Fan?? Cheers Merry Xmas Reubs
