You can buy a Dell Dimension 8100 compatible case/processor fan from HERE.
Contact Skyline and tell them it's for a Dell Dimension 8100.

First, you have some of the best posted answers on the forum. I have the same problem, my fan quit on my Dell Dimension 8100. I contracted SkyGraphics and they suggested a variable speed JMC 9025-12HBTA. Is this the original fan? Is there a JMC upgrade fan that will provide superior cooling? I run a lot of CAD (AUTOCAD and Sketch up so CPU can get pretty hot).
Thanks.

No, it's not the original fan, but it is compatible with 8100.
If you want a new Dell 8100 fan, then you would need to buy the unit from HERE

You are welcome.
That's one heck of a big difference in price. :emotion-3:

Thanks! I ordered the one from Sky Graphics. Much less expensive ($17 +S&H vs $39.99 + S&H). Sky was VERY helpful and courteous. It is a good high quality JMC fan and should do the trick.

Got the replacement fan and installed. Worked ok the first boot up, but then could not reboot. I had also changed the CMOS battery. I get a message: Invaid Configuration Please run SETUP. At first nothing but a blinking cursor would come up. I left the computer unplugged for a few days, and tried again today. It came up w/ same message, then "Press F1 to boot or F2 for setup. Pressed F! and it was able to boot. Going to try rebooting and see if I can get it to reboot. I also replace the hard drive about 6 months ago.

Ok, now I am back to the same problem I had before the fan was change. ACKKK!! Got rid of the error message w/ the" Invalid Configuration Please Run SETUP & Press F! to boot or F2 to enter Setup" by going into Set up and changing the boot order to the CDROM before my Floppy Drive. I proceeded to uninstall Norton Internet Security 2006, and it successfully uninstalled and allowed me to restart during the process.
Then, I started to install Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 instead. It said Spybot 1.2 is incompatible and will be automatically uninstalled. So it was, got a clean reboot, went through all the steps w/ Kaspersky restarting as needed 2 times I think. On the 3rd restart needed, I got the same old message that started this whole problem:
Diskette 0 seek failure
Alert! Hard Drive thermal probe not detected
Alert! Card Cage fan not detected
Alert! System fan not detected
Alert! Chip Set Heat Sink Not detected
System Halted.
Note that the Bios Battery was recently changed. Also, one of the heat sink clips seemed to be loose but was fixed long ago. I did notice that the heat transfer pad between the CPU and heat sink was rather "dry" and the top layer was peeling off slightly. I had cleaned off the bottom of the heat sink carefully w/ alcohol and allowed to dry thoroughly and reset it on the now stickier pad. On a side note would it help to apply some heat transfer paste to the top of the pad between the pad and heat sink? I would order the part, but DELL is useless sometimes ordering parts. Nearly every time I order something, they sent the wrong item. HELP! I really need to get this computer up and running ASAP.

Have these problems occur after uninstalling Norton and installing Kaspersky Internet Security 2009?
Diskette 0 seek failure
First check that floppy drive's power and data cables are properly conected to the drive and motherboard, if this does not correct the problem, replace the drive.
Did you reapply the thermal compound to the heatsink and processor?
Directions for cleaning and applying thermal compound, are HERE.
You need a small tube of thermal compound, this can be purchased from any computer store.
Alert! Chip Set Heat Sink Not detected.
Check that both processor and chipset heatsinks are firmly attached to the motherboard.
Alert! Card Cage fan not detected/Alert! System fan not detected.
Try clearing the 'System Event Log' in the system setup.
Try clearing the NVRAM.

Yes, you need to clean the remains of the thermal pad from the heatsink, before applying the thermal compound.
Have you checked the readings of the four diagnostic lights on the back panel and the power button LED, when there is a problem?
See HERE
Try running diagnostics on the 8100, the insructions should be in the 8100 owner's manual.
The 8100 power supply, is a Dell proprietary unit, made just for the 8100 and two or three other Dell desktops.
