A computer is a contemporary device that assists in different works and enhances work productivity. It is controlled by the cpu and helps in the proper functioning of the computer. Sometimes, you may face difficulties in booting and delays in starting your computer. A common error i.e. “CPU Fan Error” causes this issue and frequently displays on the screen until the issue is resolved.
This error is related to the motherboard and the CPU’s cooling fan which means the computer’s motherboard is unable to detect a cooling device for the CPU. When you attempt to boot your computer despite viewing cpu fan error on boot, the motherboard restricts the booting operation for the computer.
The motherboard restricts the booting to protect the computer and its parts from further damage.
Some Possible Reasons for CPU Fan Error
- Overheating of your CPU
- Low RPM speed of Windows fan
- Mismatched plug-in of CPU Fan
- Lack of BIOS regular updates
Steps to Fix the Windows or CPU fan error
1. Protect CPU from overheating
To fix the error, check the working conditions of the fan and remove the dirt and dust particles from overheating it.
2. Manage RPM speed of Windows fan
On low RPM fan speed, the motherboard couldn't detect the CPU's cooler and restricts the booting operation.to fix this, lower the “CPU Fan Speed Low Limit” option available in the BIOS system.
3. Connect your CPU Fan properly
Sometimes, the cooler fan of the CPU is connected improperly causing CPU temperature errors. to prevent this, ensure all the connections of the fan are connected into the same CPU fan header plug-in slot.
4. Install updated versions of BIOS System
The BIOS stands – Basic Input and Output system. This is a program that helps in the basic functions of a computer including its booting operation and keyboard control. update the BIOS system of your computer.
