Re: Chip fan stop or too slow



Do as everyone else says, buy one and open the case and replace it.
If its over 2 years old and you are in there then replace it.
The cost of a fan or the cost of a new processor / motherboard..... lets see.....

PS. Some MB come with utilities to monitor voltage and fans and temp. They are pretty good in that they have an alarm to let you know the minute something goes wrong. You never want to run a CPU overheating for any length of time. Even drives in the cabinet.


Blow out the dust while you're in there too.

Recently when I boot up the XP, just before the POSE, I got the warning the chip fan speed is slow or stop and ask me to press F1 or goto setup.
I just goto BIOS setup and stop the warning.

How do I get the details of the problem?
My CPU is AMD Athlon 3200+.
