System failure due to CPU fan not working properly?

You Bios change is probably the problem. The wrong Bios may have been used or the Bios flash failed.

looks like it could be a bad cpu. have you tried going into your bios and change it to halt on no errors?

It could be the CPU fan that is not rotating on start up and a warning beep, indicating that the fan is running slow or the CPU is too hot. At least check that PC case is not full of dust or other debris. Chipset, graphics card or power supply fans might give the same problem, with the beep indicating high board temperature.

Your cooling fan failed on your computer.  This could be the one in the power supply, or some other fan in the case.\n\nYou'll have to open it up, turn it on, and see which fan is not spinning.  Check for loose connections to the fan.  Give the fan a spin to see if it is stuck and just needs encouragement to start spinning.\n\nIf that does not work, you will have to replace the fan or power supply.

Restarts randomly, overheating, increasingly slower speed.  Often times, I've found that a problem that seems to be the CPU ends up being a faulty fan that needs replaced to prevent overheating.

Likely you have a heat problem.\nor it could be a fan rotation warning, some motherboards can alarm you if fan speed drops below a set level....\n\nPay attention to it regardless, and have someone look at it !

If the fan is not working,Do Not turn on he computer even for a few minutes. You run the risk of overheating and losing your CPU. A replacement fan is cheap at any computer store. Just measure the diameter and get the same size.

could be a hardware or heat related condition. if the fan for the cpu stops working, the cpu will get too hot and the computer will shut it's self down.

CPU is only one source of heat.  If you're doing something graphically intensive, you can generate heat on the GPU, especially if you have one that steals/borrows system memory.  Also, there could be some background process using the hard drive, so check if it's spinning.\n\nThe only other thing I can think of is a problem with your fan or heat sync.  If the fan's getting old or clogged it may not push as much air so it won't cool as well.  Similarly, if your heat sync has gotten dislodged somehow that may be causing heat problems.  Unfortunately, both of those are warranty problems.

It could be a couple of problems. It could be that the processor is overheating and you might need to get a new fan or reapply the thermal glue. It could be a bad power supply or power supply cable. I don't think it is a virus for the simple fact that even the deadly boot sector viruses show signs after it does POST. I would take it into a computer tech shop or the Geek Squad and find out what they say. Good luck.

check for viruses (specially when your system booting after connect to internet ) \ncheck power voltage \ncheck  cpu fan \nreinstall win xp \nif cpu fan is good

A noisy fan generally signals that the fan is getting near a failure point.  \n\nCleaning it can help, but as laptops are generally difficult/expensive to repair after a failure, I recommend taking it to a good computer shop.  A few dollars to fix a fan now is a lot better than a few more dollars to replace a CPU or the entire laptop.\n\nGood luck ...

somebody mentioned tis already but the stock fan that come on those pentiums sucks.  First off, to explain what is actually happening.  Those pentiums get really hot and are often joked about saying they could fry an egg.  HT has nothing to do with the temperature directly.  Make sure in BIOS you have the correct amount of Voltage being supplied to it.  It may even be that you have too much voltage or are trying to overclock.  If this doesn't help then replace the fan.  here's a good list of fans.  I use the Gigabyte G-power on my rig and it stays about 35C even overclocked (but it's an AMD, still works very well and looks really nice too):\nGigabyte G-Power- already explained above http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835128009\nThermaltake Big Typhoon- big and works very well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106061\nZalman CNPS9500- probably the best out right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118223\nArctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro- also pretty nice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186134\nThere are more out there and it also comes down to taste and reviews. The ones I listed above are tried and true though.  While you're at it replace the previous thermal grease or compound with some new compound.  Arctic Silver 5, Evercool, Zalman are all good greases.  clean off the old stuff with high %age rubbing alcohol and a paper towel or q-tip.\nHope this helps.  if you need help with installation, email me and I link you some guides to doing it.

it could be the fan is dirty or the heatsink is dirty, try blowing those out and turning on the temperature again.  It could also be beeping because of a different problem.  RAM issues make beeping sounds.  With the temperature off, it could easily ruin your cpu.  I would fix it asap.  If it is a laptop, some laptops have issues with this problem.  If it is a laptop I would call the manufacturer and get it fixed by them if it is under warranty, otherwise, it could be expensive.

A blocked or filthy fan reduces airflow across the board and processor. This can cause anything from minor system mis-behaviors, to complete crashes, to running for a time and then powering off. This also causes damage to the board, processor and hard drive.

it is most likely overheating. Try a monitoring program like sisoftware's SiSandra light.  Its free, and the environment monitoring tool will tell you the temperature of your Processor.\nhttp://www.sisoftware.co.uk\n\nIn the meantime, check that all the fans are running and free from fluff etc.\n\nIf you have replaced the heatsink on your processor, make sure you have used a thermal paste between the heatsink and the processor.\n\nGood luck

Check your processor fan....since AMD heats up quickly...\n\nif possible change it these days AMD's company recomended fans are coming in market....\n\nComputer hangs just because of heat up....\n\nuse new fan...with new heat sink...\n\nchange cabinet if possible....for better vantilation\nor if possible fit extra fans in your cabinate\n\nu didn't tell what os u r using??\n\nand which net connection u r using??\n\nhanging of computer has nothing to do with virus\nits very rare case\n\nPlz look for new fan with heavier original AMD heatsink\n\nand make cabinet more vantilated...with more fans
