It means that the compressor is taking too long to reach the boot temp. It's the first sign of a leak, or damage somewhere. Listen carefully - can you hear escaping gas coming from the compressor compartment?

In an ideal world it is a bit soon for failures but unfortunately the evap head is incredibly delicate and if you put any unecessary pressure on it when you change cpus or whatnot it can be easily damaged.

hmm keep an eye on it - is it working normally now, and do you power the unit down overnight or leave it running?
It wont turn on now 
It was doing the usual temp countdown until it got to -26 degrees and then suddenly it went back to read at 6 degree's and wouldnt go down to lower than -4.
I know the chiller is working fine as last night when it was telling me it was at 1 degree my CPU was still running at -30oC!
So in other words all that expensive equipment is being misinformed somewhere along the lines. However I cannot turn my PC on now and it is very important to me that I get this resolved ASAP. I cannot work from home without it!
Can anyone help?
*Update* Now it's working again. Basically the problem seems to lay with a temperature sensor some place on the system. When that reads right there is no problem, PC switches on like normal and normal temps are read. When it doesnt the system wont boot due to misinformation and the alarms go off left, right and centre

This morning the idle temp on the display reads at 78oC degrees of heat despite the fact the room temp is about 20oC and the evaporator is freezing and hasnt been on in over 12 hours
The probe is clearly the source of the problems. What are my options, is this covered by warrenty or did that die with Nventiv
Many thanks

It does sound like the control board is on the way out, or the temp probe is stuffed. Take this to PM if you dont mind.
