crash the program shortly after starting up, if not crashing the entire computer, and many smaller programs will freeze or close on their own, which I have been told may be a sign of overheating. I've tried restarting the computer a number of times, uninstalling the games, plugging the fan into different ports on the motherboard (in case I had it wrong), and even bought a new fan, and I still keep getting this message. I've had this new cpu fan error on boot liquid cooling computer for around a week now and it has been nothing but trouble. All I want is for it to work. Can someone please help me?

The way to find it is to click configure once installed. Temps will then be given. Post back what the temp is usually around (ex: if it goes from like 18 to 20 to 19 to 20, just say like 20).

I also keep getting error messages saying that "windows explorer is not responding" every few seconds, at which point my desktop, start menu, and toolbar all reset, until finally they decide to just close instead of restarting (All that appears on my desktop is the background. No icons, no toolbar, no start menu) Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top Xhi Posts: 6298 This post has been reported. Your fan may be running, but not at full speed which it may require.

Personal QuestionWhen I boot up my PC this error "CPU fan has failed" is shown. What could be the possible problem?UpdateCancelAnswer Wiki7 Answers Leonid S. Knyshov, I run a data recovery companyWritten 82w agoWhen the CPU fan fails to report https://www.quora.com/When-I-boot-up-my-PC-this-error-CPU-fan-has-failed-is-shown-What-could-be-the-possible-problem rotational speed above the threshold of failure to the motherboard, the motherboard will alert you by saying that the CPU fan has failedOn a desktop, the CPU fan connects to your motherboard with a 4-pin (older technology and some aftermarket fans use 3 pins) power connector. There are temperature sensors on the motherboard. There are also usually multiple 3-pin (they are sometimes 4-pin) headers (groups of multiple pins with a plastic "key" to cpu fan ensure correct orientation of the connector) into which the fans get plugged in. Laptops have a similar arrangement, but they may use non-standard connectors.On this example board, the CPU fan is connected into the 4-pin header and there is another 3-pin header next to it.While operating properly, the CPU fan reports back to the motherboard its current rotational speed. The motherboard regulates the speed of that fan according to the temperature reported by the cpu fan error CPU temperature sensor. If that speed is too low or missing, the motherboard will say the fan has failed.You can simulate this failure by unplugging the fan from CPU header and connecting it to any other fan header, like Case Fan. It will still spin, but your motherboard will complain because it will think there is no CPU fan attached.Others explained how to solve the problem. Do not run a computer without a CPU fan even for a second. Use a thermal compound to improve heat transfer efficiency. The cooler your CPU operates, the happier your computer feels.4k Views · View Upvotes · Answer requested by Andrew GutschRelated QuestionsMore Answers BelowWhat is the best way to check if my laptop is failing due to the CPU/GPU or a fan problem?What can I do if my CPU's fan runs and then stops but it does not boot up?What exactly do Microsoft Windows 7 Boot Repair do to repair a fail to fix Boot problem?What does it mean when my computer says "Your PC needs to be repaired" and "There is a problem in your boot loader error code 0x00009"?I have a custom built (gaming) PC which has issues with booting.
