CPU Chip Fan failed or speed too low

[wallywaldo]

hey, i get this warning message about 85% of the time i turn on my computer which started happening about 3 weeks ago now i'd say. the fan sort of does whirlies then settles down after its been used for about 30mins to an hour. about a 2 weeks ago i decieded maybe the fan was faulty so i changed it but it still does the same thing

has anyone had this problem before, or have any suggestions on what i should do?

thanks Tom

what kind of monitoring software are you using, speed fan?

 

[wallywaldo]

i'm not using any software...it tells me this when it boots...

goes beep beep beep beeep

then a message comes up saying cpu fan fail or speed too low

What motherboard are you using?

I had that problem (something simular). When I changed PSU and case. In the BIOS there is something about " fan monitoring " or something like that , can't remember the real name, but it had 2 options "off" or "auto". Auto just kept my pc rebooting, when i turned it off Voila! no more problems.

I would still suggest getting another Surgeons approval before doing so though

This doctor is still in training, good luck!


The Surgeon :-D

Yeah.. turn off any fan monitoring in your BIOS. If its a new NF4 board, you may be running 'cool n' quiet', which is a windows based fan monitoring program.

the motherboard is an asus a8n sli deluxe...yeah it said you could disable the warning messge or something...but yeah if somehting is wrong with it then yeah prolly not a good idea..
