System Fan not detected - Dimension 8100
Out of nowhere I started getting the message "Alert.� System fan not detected" while booting up.� I have not added any software or hardware.
�
I have done the following:
�
1.� Replaced the fan.
�
2.� Cleared by NVRAM with the Alt/E deal in safe mode.
�
3.� Cleared by System Event Log while in safe mode.
�
4.� Re-installed by BIOS from floppy.�
�
5.� Changed System Mode to S1 from S3.
�
Still getting the error message and all fans are running fine.�
�
What is going on??� How do I get rid of the error message??� Things seem to be working fine.

Did you install a Dell fan?
The case/processor fans for Dell systems, are proprietary units,

I have a similar problem. Got drive error messages, then similar problems to this. My fan is bad (grinds and barely runs now. Going to order a new one from Sky Graphics or other. However, from other research I have done (Dell is not always so helpful), it may be a mother board problem I await other posts with interest.
