The desktop of my brother was "dead" some months ago. The CPU was out of order. I changed it, and a message is running when we turning on the desktop. "Alert ! CPU Fan failure... Strike F1 to continue F2 to run Setup utility". Press F1 launch the computer without any problem. But I would like to solve this problem.
Make sure the system is running the latest Bios version, you can download it from this link. After doing the update, check to confirm if you still receive the same error.
Might be a good idea to pop the cover while it's running, so you can make sure the fan is spinning. Definitely want to avoid failure from thermal problems.
