one issue resolved, have a new one though

[Kristine Word]

i got the answer for my fans spinning without system being powered on - it was indeed a a failed power supply. However in my search of answers i had done the bios reset and battery reset. Now that i moved everything in my new case with my new power supply, it powered right up, fans spinning only after i turn the pc on. on the black start up screen im getting message "system fan has failed, blah blah press F2" I checked all fans are working purrty and windows loads with no problem. so im wondering... if resetting CMOS or w/e that was i did i deleted some settings for the fan.. oh yeah - im not sure if that's related but i did reapply the thermal paste for the heat-sink since i knew my old was all crusty and ugly. Anyhow looking for some advice, i don't like pink warning letters on my screen not that i see the black start up screen too often. to make 100% sure tehre isn't an actual proble with fan i'd like to know what i can download that would tell me if system temperatures are appropriate, and if fans are not the case, how do i make bios forget about its' idea of an error

Do you have an aftermarket cpu cooler, or did it come with the cpu? Some aftermarket coolers will not spin fast enough giving the motherboard false messages. As long as your temperatures are good, you should be fine.

There should be a section in the BIOS where you select what message to display/ignore. Normally it is as simple as turning the warning message off.

i still have the original cpu fan that came with the hp system i purchased a while back, what im thinking is that they had adjusted the settings in bios either about how many rpms it wants or just disabled the error message and by resseting bios i deleted that setting. i would like a sugestion on how to measure system temperatures to ensure that it is just the spin speed that is upsetting the pink message. and if so how i can get rid of the msg

which f do i need to spam on black screen to get to bios... when i started i didn't see start up options displayed.. or i missed it... F1 or F8?

usually try the DEL key, or if there is a pic on startup hit TAB to see the POST then see what key it is

speedfan temp readings:

GPU 37c
temp1 24 c
temp2 52 c
temp3 42c
core 27c

made it into bios but couldnt find the right option for the error message to not be displayed

in advanced settings there is nothing like PC health or hardware monitor the list looks like this:

Primary Video Adaper
SATA I Controller
SATA controller Mode
Onboard LAN
Onboard LAN Boot ROM
Onboard 1394
USB
Password

Sorry to hear that. Check all of the sections just in case it is buried. I haven't dealt with a BIOS that didn't have that but I build mostly for overclocking so the MB/Bios are more robust.

So i just decided to change out MOBO, since i had one in mail JIC power supply wasn't the first issue, oh and guess what.. the new MOBO does have all sorts of options like you guys were suggesting, such as adjuusting fan control and such =) thanks everyone im a happy camper now
