One thing that may help here is the "fan not detected" error message in the troubleshooting section at Dell found at http://support.dell.com/support/top...d=4AD01B6559D511DB8D1A7D802B351F27&l=en&s=gen

The other option would be to email Dell's tech support staff with a request. You will probably find that the cpu fan is monitored with a hardware monitor in the bios itself and has a rpm threshold assigned to it by default. If you can lower that the message should stop appearing. Make sure the fan is plugged in at the right connector on the board as well.

I could be that the fan is just running to slow and hasent stopped yet, have you checked the RPMs of the fan?
