hi,
I have read a number of similar posts on this issue but wasn't able to resolve my particular problem and was hoping someone can provide some additional pointers
I recently moved my HP Pavilion Slimline S5280t to a Cooler Master case, everything went well except i now get a "System Fan Has Failed, Press F2 to Continue" message every time i boot up the PC.
I know for sure it's caused by the rear 120mm case fan (brand new, works fine) that connects to the 3 pin Chasis Fan connector on the motherboard (I tested it with the old 92mm fan and the error message was gone). So base on what i have read on the forum, the easiest fix is to disable / adjust fan monitor setting in BIOS, unfortunately that option is locked for my motherboard model (IPIEL-LA3). So at this point i have 2 questions as far as what i can do next:
1. I assume the fan sensor detects for RPM of the fan so since it's a 120mm fan, the RPM is lower than a 92mm one, and hence the error message i received. So can i fix the problem by swapping the case fan with a 120mm that runs at a higher RPM?
2. I have read that there is a hidden BIOS menu with some of the HP PCs, accessable by pressing F11 (or some other key that's not listed on the initial boot menu), i tried F11 and that went into a diagnostic tool, does anyone know if a hidden BIOS menu exist for my particular model? (PC Model: S5280t, CPU q8300, Mobo IPIEL-LA3)
Also, i don't think there is a BIOS update for my model either... so i am definitely running out of options here. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
