Reading BIOS from VB

[tedsmith]

How can I read the BIOS so I can display the CPU temperature in my application.
I have in mind writing an application that can report back to a master computer if any of the computers in a network are overheating.
Thanks

Maybe this can help?

I cant seem to get anything using the temperatureprobe examples.
ASI (the motherboard manufacturer) says the information is in the BIOS so I would imagine a routine that interrogates the BIOS would be the way to go if only I could find one.
