I'm getting an alert when I boot up that says rear fan failure on my dell optiplex 745, but the fan is working. The error started straight away after I put a new CPU into my pc. The new CPU is more energy efficient so it needs less cooling than the previous chip. The fan is way quieter now, but...

So today when I came home from work, I tried to boot up my PC and noticed it was taking a really long time. I opened the side panel and saw the Debug LED code 64 (which has something to do with the CPU). I thought it was odd because after ~15 mins it still was not booting, so I pressed the BIOS...
