How much thermal compound did you use? You have to use very very little. Also once, you place the heat sink, don't lift it up again.

As far as the bios goes, try setting the fan on manual at the highest speed. Then test the machine. If it still overheats, then the problem is most probably bad placement of thermal compound or bad seating the heat sink.
