Boot-up issue

[lincsman]

I have an HP (I've already tried HP instant support, hasn't ever really helped me) desktop computer, and instead of the blue HP boot-up screen, it says "CPU fan fail, service immediately." I don't have a CPU fan, and the case fan is running just fine. This happened after removing my CD-burner and making my DVD-burner the primary. Please if anyone can add any logic to this, it would really help. I have to hit F2, or the computer shuts itself off after 5 seconds.

Well, open the case and make sure you did not accidentally unplug the fan. Since you were in there.

Turns out HP instant support can be pretty good, the first guy I talked to seemd to be in a big hurry. Turns out the problem was in BIOS - apparently F11 gives you a more advanced BIOS with HP machines.

And did this solve the problem?
