I had posted a previous question about my fan not turning on on my motherboard to cool it down and had posted that the temp in the bios read 98 degrees farenheit. I got the answers I deserved for that statement!

The temperature is actually 98 degrees CELCIUS and my fan is still not turning on!

I am running a BIOSTAR KM266 Pro Chipset Motherboard With Onboard AMD Sempron 2200+ .

Thanks for any insight.

As for now, I have the case open with my house fan in front it... seems to help a little!

You've exceeded the temp. threshold for the Sempron, and I really don't see how it would be functioning if it was accurate.

At that temp the computer crashed, so I force quit it and restarted it in the bios mode. After I read the temp, I turned it off and left it alone for quite a while

the stock fan will go on occasionally, but it will turn for about two or three seconds and go off and stay off for about ten minutes, then go back on for about two seconds, and repeat the whole cycle. It is a fairly new motherboard so I don't get why this is happening. It there a way to turn the fan on through some software manipulation?

try a new fan. if it's a stock 60mm fan and it's blown, i'd get a 60->80mm fan adapter and buy a 80mm fan while you're at it.

HSF fan should be on ALL THE TIME. if you turn on the computer and the HSF fan doesn't turn on, either the power cable is wrong or the fan is blown.

good luck.
