Hello, i have a comapq presario witha ata 100 motherboard and it wont recognize my new cpu fan. i am sure i am plugging it into the right spot but maybye not, it wont boot becuase it says the fan failed. thanks
The CPU fan is being detected, but there is a problem with compatability or there is a fault in the fan it's self. Have you tried your original fan?
it was missing the fan when i bought it
This would have been ideal with the original, makes me wonder if the same problem existed before you bought it.
haha yup. i just wish there was a way to disable the fan check at startup

hi
change your ram.
clean your processor and reattach it.
check your motherboard dont touch the cabinet
SOURCE: No display and wont boot
A Blinking Amber or Yellow power button means that the power supply is receiving power from the source but is unable to properly distribute it to the components. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard. Power supply is easier and cheaper to replace.

Go to bootdisk.com and download boot files for your operating system (ex. Windows XP). There are software for floppy disk which is the easier way to get your boot files. If you do not have a floopy you will have to get the CD files, there you have all the instructions how to get the CD. Once you get the files, insert the floopy or the CD and reboot your computer. The filse should be installed automatically, if not do it manually and reboot computer again.

This may be due to a CMOS mother board battery. I know that some tech or expert say that you can still boot without it but my experience is that if the CMOS battery is below 3.4 volts it may or may not post or boot. This battery is about the size of a quarter usually found at Walgreens or Walmart for about 3.00 dollars.

On the back of the Power Supply there should be a Green LED, When you power it on if it is flashing, this means that the Power Supply is dead and you need to replace it.
