my sister has a Compaq presairo
celeron d 330
80g hdd
512 ddr
-------------------------------
"all of a sudden" she was getting this error msg saying
"CPU fan failed, pc will automatically power down in a few seconds, service pc immediately to prevent CPU damage."
i have done a lot of building and ect for friends and family so i guessed straight away that it could be 1 of 2 things, faulty fan "duh" or faulty mobo so i changed the fan and still same msg, i have tried 2 different fans and just to be on the safe side a similar power supply out of my own machine.
i was wondering if i could wing this some how by powering the cpu fan a different way and overriding it in the bios.
thanks, lee
