"Alert! Previous Fan Failure" after replacing a Dell fan.
I just replaced a fan (6985R) on a Dell 4550 desktop PC. Now whenever I boot up, once it gets past the Dell logo loading screen it displays this message briefly w/ the option to press F1 to continue or F2 to go to setup. Disabling keyboard error reporting eliminated the F1/F2 message... however the fan failure message still displays each time. After the fan failure message appears it asks which version of windows to boot into (Safe mode, Safe mode w/ networking, etc) then after I choose, it hangs w/ a black screen for 3-5 seconds then it simply reboots. In the event log it reads "Out of Range" next to the fan failures it's showing as well. I've checked the error logs and cleared them. I've made sure the fan is actually running, and I'm not sure where to go next. Clearing CMOS? I'm hoping I don't need to do anything drastic like that. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you install a Dell OEM fan, or an aftermarket unit?

None that I know of, except buying the correct Dell OEM fan and connecting it to the motherboard.
