| 512240 | 2007-01-03 03:20:00 | A customer brought me a computer. There was a power out during usage. When they boot the computer they get "CPU fan error. press F1 to continue" Pressing F1 just reboots the computer -- which starts the cycle over. They have an ASUS P5S800-VM motherboard. Any insights or suggestions what to test or how to get the computer to boot. Cheers, |

| 512241 | 2007-01-03 03:47:00 | Check the BIOS and see if Q-Fan is enabled. If it is disable it. It looks like that error means the speed of the CPU isn't fast enough. If its there and already disabled, disable the CPU monitoring entry, if there's one there.What version of the BIOS is on board. It looks like 1013 of the BIOS : P5S800-VM Bios version 1013 1. Change CPU Fan Low Limit to 800rpm 2. Fix HCT CPU may test fail with 6XX CPU And it looks like its upto 1020 of the BIOS now. |

| 512242 | 2007-01-03 03:57:00 | Q-Fan is disabled. CPU fan is 1730 rpm. Chassis Fan Speed: N/A CPU Temp 39.5 Didn't find any CPU monitoring. |

| 512243 | 2007-01-03 03:59:00 | CPU Fan speed can be ignored, which I have done. But the computer still won't boot. |

| 512244 | 2007-01-03 04:36:00 | A Repair install now allows me to boot into Windows XP Home but I still have to press F1 to get past the CPU fan error message. | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 512245 | 2007-01-03 04:45:00 | And what version of the BIOS is on it? What does it say on the post screen? It does bring up the post screen doesn't it?? Or try clearing the CMOS, turn the system off and remove the CMOS battery/jumper, after a min put it back in, and reconfigure the BIOS. |

| 512246 | 2007-01-03 05:04:00 | Or disable the halt on error option in the BIOS. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 512247 | 2007-01-03 05:21:00 | And what version of the BIOS is on it? AMIBIOS 2005 What does it say on the post screen? Auto-detecting USB mass storage devices... 00 USB Mass storage devices found and configured CPU Fan Error! Press F1 to resume It does bring up the post screen doesn't it?? Yes Or try clearing the CMOS, turn the system off and remove the CMOS battery/jumper, after a min put it back in, and reconfigure the BIOS. I restored the default bios setting & still get the error I disabled the "Wait for 'F1' if error. |

| 512248 | 2007-01-03 05:29:00 | The post screen should say something like BIOS REVISION 1010 or something which is the version of the BIOS. AMIBIOS 2005 is most probably at the start of this line. The BIOS revision is at the end of it. Other than that, the outage may have zapped something. Which can't be fixed. |
