Question

Hello, For some time, when I start my computer before loading Windows XP Home Edition, I get the following message (right after starting my computer like that after about 15 seconds) CPU Fan Error! Press F1 to resume Lists the hardware data of the computer: And I have a question what do I have...

Is the dictionary so hard to read? CPU Fan Error = CPU fan error Maybe you could get a bit of a sweat and see if the fan spins fast enough.

WMichał · Answer

The message indicates a problem with the CPU fan. Regards.

mat_ed · Answer

Check if the CPU fan is connected to the CPU_FAN socket on the motherboard and not, for example, CHA_FAN.

Check the fan on the CPU as described above. Maybe it is just enough to clean it because the dust that has settled on it is blocking it and that is the cause.

durro · Answer

It is connected to the appropriate socket, because the computer has been working for about 2 years and I have not changed anything in it (I did not disconnect or connect anything), and this problem appeared about 5 months ago, it appeared a few days after the computer was formatted. The computer was cleaned 2 weeks ago.

WMichał · Answer

Then check if you have damaged the fan power cable during one of the cleanings. Is it blocked or spinning at minimum speed?

mat_ed · Answer

Well, maybe then (even unconsciously) you plugged the fan into a different socket?

CPU Fan Error! The moderator gave you a full and comprehensive answer. If you have doubts whether the fan is working properly, replace it or take it to the nearest service center

tzok · Answer

Check in the BIOS or with the program, eg Everest, what fan speed on the processor is seen by the system monitoring its operation, maybe it is too low, or maybe the fan speed measurement system is damaged. Don't you have some kind of speed regulator? Didn't you bury anything in the BIOS, didn't you do CMOS-Clear or Setup-Defaults?

Or maybe you need to apply thermal paste?

keLson · Answer

Load optimal bios settings, it might help.

jankolo · Answer

A lot of advice was given, and the author of the thread, apart from telling us that he dusted the computer some time ago, did not even bother to check if the fan was spinning. Please do not comment until the author has given a comprehensive answer about his actions.

durro · Answer

When the computer is well turned on, the following windows pop up on my desktop. The first window looks like this: The second window looks like this: Does it have to do with what you experts ask? This is how all windmills work. This is how it is well connected, to the appropriate socket No, probably not, I recently cleaned it up to 2 weeks ago, and there are no significant traces of dust on it and it certainly does not block it ... It's not blocked, spinning as usual since I have it ...

And I was rummaging in the BIOS? It's worth looking at energy management. Maybe too low values. And there are such options - CPU temperature, fan speed, etc. It's worth checking out. --------- Post 09 Sep 2008 15:44 CPU Fan Error! What to do? Help!

tzok · Answer

As in the picture you can see the BIOS can see the fans connected to the Power FAN and Chassis FAN connectors, but not to the CPU FAN ... maybe the CPU fan has been damaged and is not sending the speed signal to the board. As a last resort, you can disable the monitoring of this fan in the BIOS, but it would be better to replace it with a working one. If you have so many fans, try to connect another one to the CPUFAN connector and see if the message disappears and PC Probe will see the CPU FAN speed reading.

adikus7 · Answer

In this picture you can see that the valve labeled CPU Fan is turning too slowly. 712 RPM This is definitely not enough, that's why the program gives alarms

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe it is not spinning at all, and the value of 712rpm is the minimum value from which the program starts to count down.

tzok · Answer

The value 712rpm is the value below which program triggers the alarm (you can adjust it with this slider at the scale or in the settings tab, I don't remember anymore), the speed reading for this fan, the program does not see at all.

durro · Answer

This is how I'm gonna fix it. Write me step by step what to do because I really do not know computers,

tzok · Answer

But the excavation - you haven't gotten to it yet? You have to replace the fan with a good one or turn off the fan monitoring in the BIOS Setup and in the PC Probe program (Settings tab). As a last resort, you can swap the plugs connected to the PWR_FAN and CPU_FAN connectors. You do not need to be familiar with computers, here it is enough to draw conclusions from what has already been written (several times).
