Re: Startup Error

Most likely would........a sightly slower boot would allow the fan to spin
up to regulation speed which the sensor would detect and no more error
message.
let us know

Hi

Thanks for the info peter, I've looked in the BIOS, but I can't find
any relevent settings to change the minimum detect, although it does
show the CPU fan speed (under Hardware Monitor). The BIOS on my
computer is PhoenixBIOS Rev 2.07 if that's of any help. Whilst I was
there, I did notice that 'Quickboot' was enabled. Would it make a
difference if I disabled it?

Thanks in advance

ps
I hope I've replied correctly (I'm new to all this).

Your problem sounds like this minimum detect is set too low........and
you
get the problem message.
Check your BIOS for this setting and lower the minimum detect.
