fan woes, bios woes
« on: August 14, 2007, 07:18:32 AM »
Everytime I boot my computer I always get an error message 'fan fail or speed to low', I got into the bios and I notice the CPU fan is working at about 6,000rpm but the CHIP fan is at 0rpm. Basically it's telling me it's not working at all. I took the case off and the 4 fans I can see all seem to be working.
There may be another one but I can't see it. Im an overclocker so I was wondering If i'd pushed it too far? Please give me your thoughts.

Also by taking the case off the side while having the computer running, will this make the system run cooler?

 ???

    take the battery out for like 3 minutes or more*

    this should reset your bios to original default settings

    Without more details on your system OS etc. anything right now would qualify as pure speculation...
