Hwmonitor not reading cpu temps correctly

[Marbo]

I've been using Fan Control and noticed if I tried to open hwmonitor the temp readings for my cpu would freeze and the fans would remain at the speed that I had set for that temp.

 

Assumed this was being caused by a conflict, I left Fan Control running as it was doing a good job.

I've changed my gpu for used unit so wanted to give it a good stess test and monitor the stats.

 

I disabled Fan Control and set a curve for the cpu in Bios and for the gpu in afterburner.  Bios reading the temp fine but anything I use in Windows, now  including Fan Control, not working.  Gpu temp showing fine in hwmonitor and afterburner.

 

I'm a little bit reluctant to do a bios update in case the temp readings stick and my pc shuts down during the process.

 

Asus A520M
Ryzen 5 4500
Changed from evga 3060 to gigabyte 3090

Windows 10 (up to date,  can't remember the version)

HWMoniyor is notoriously bad, get HWINFO and try again.

Thanks but that is the same. 

HWmonitor,  hwinfo and Fan Speed all showing frozen cpu temp.  Can't even run ryzen master for some reason.
