Thermistor Problem

Hi there,
recently I have encountered this problem with my printer, I have installed Marlin firmware onto my Prusa I3, the firmware is especially made for the printer but small tweaks have been made.
The printer seizes every time I turn it on and refuses to do anything until it is fixed. I have entered pronterface abd tried connecting to the printer, the information given includes:

Printer is now online.

Error:Temperature heated bed switched off. MAXTEMP triggered !!
[ERROR] Error:Temperature heated bed switched off. MAXTEMP triggered !!

I have tweaked the thermistors on the Firmware to:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1
Note that I was told to set it to 5, if that's wrong please let me know
any help would be nice, thankyou

Check the wiring for shorts, thermistors over-read when the resistance is low. It's easy to short the exposed wires on the aluminum heat block if the insulation slips.

theres no shortage, everything is in its right place, it was fine before I uploaded new firmware onto it.

Make sure the right thermistor is selected, in the right port, and if nothing surfaces be sure that the MINTEMP, MAXTEMP, and other temp related safety features aren't too strict, or enabled at all. Just be sure you get them working again.
