Recently when I boot up the XP, just before the POSE, I got the warning the
chip fan speed is slow or stop and ask me to press F1 or goto setup.
I just goto BIOS setup and stop the warning.

How do I get the details of the problem?
My CPU is AMD Athlon 3200+.

Did you check the fan to see if it is running?

Sounds like a hardware issue, unrelated to Windows.
Try a hardware newsgroup.

No details needed. You will need to open the case, look for the
faulty fan and replace it.

Good way to destroy your CPU.
ignoring a problem with your fan is not a very good idea!

Do as everyone else says, buy one and open the case and replace it.
If its over 2 years old and you are in there then replace it.
The cost of a fan or the cost of a new processor / motherboard..... lets
see.....

PS. Some MB come with utilities to monitor voltage and fans and temp.
They are pretty good in that they have an alarm to let you know the
minute something goes wrong. You never want to run a CPU overheating
for any length of time. Even drives in the cabinet.


Blow out the dust while you're in there too.

It depends on your board.

Without knowing anything about your PC it is hard to say.
Either it is a problem of you CPU fan not running properly, or your BIOS has
set the fan to run at a certain temp, and it hasn't reached that temp yet,
so the fan hasn't started, (I've had to disable alarms because of that one).
You may have a CPU cooler that is fanless or low speed.
The CPU fan may be connected to the wrong motherboard header meaning it is
working but the motherboard can't detect it.

I assume your PC runs normally otherwise? Is this a new problem or has it
always been like this?

If the fan isn't running as it should it's best to get it fixed. Your PC
will start to lock up shortly after boot due to overheating. It's not likely
you will destroy your CPU. Your heatsink would basically need to fall off
for that to happen.

Fans are cheap, and CPUs are expensive. Ignoring the warning is
foolhardy.

Open the case. If the fan is clogged with dust, blow it out with a can
of compressed air. If that gets rid of the warning, good. If not, get
the fan replaced.

Do not delay. The risk of losing the CPU to overheating is real and
imminent.

What details are you expecting to get? Like everybody says, take care of
the fan problem. If you don't know how or are intimidated by the idea of
replacing it yourself, take it to a shop. On the chance that it is not the
fan but the voltage to the fan from the power supply I think I would let a
shop take care of it for you.

Don't continue to run the computer until the problem is cleared.

What details? The chip fan isn't working.

I admit the instructions could be clearer - the message doesn't tell you how
to correct the problem.

Replace the fan.
