CPU fan running fast speed constantly
« on: August 10, 2009, 08:54:04 PM »
This is on my Dell P4 machine (in my specs). I previously only heard the CPU fan run on high after an improper shutdown followed by re-start. Now it sounds like it's running faster than normal all the time although not completely on high. I cannot find a CPU temp with Everest. How can I check the CPU temp?

By using the BIOS and then find the hardware monitor.

To access the BIOS, continually tap either the delete key, F2, F10 or another key if it says Press *key* to enter Setup/BIOS.

From there use the keyboard to find your CPU temp.

It definitely does sound like a heat issue though.
