Any idea why I get this every time I start Chili?

BAL 0 is Chili, BAL 1 and 2 are Coinado and Cointamination (no we didn't get it working with new chips it runs with samples)

Most likely not all your chips are making contact. Had this problem myself once or twice while trying different coolers.

There are many causes mentioned in the thread but it seems to me most revolve around no backplate or uneven chips. If you're using TIM try adding a small amount of thermal grease between the TIM and cooler.

If you're not using a backplate then over tightening bends the board away from the cooler base.

I have backplate and this is not hot restart... I can just plug it in and start cgminer. I get it every time. And it gets cooler when it runs... So no it must be something else... Error reporting temp?

Overheat at startup then cooling and hashing later. The time scale is only 41 seconds from first flag to clean hashing. It does prove the cooling is working.
Has anyone else looked this close in the startup log?
Can the miner be made to display the chip number, it almost looks like first hash is failing on each chip (9 fails) then starting correctly when the cooler is settled down.
