I keep <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/getting-2670847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GETTING">GETTING</a> an error message on bootup "cpu fan not working". The old fan was replaced and everything is working fine, but I still get the error message. Any way to stop the error message from coming up on bootup?<br/><br/><br/>Compaq Presario<br/>Windows XP<br/>AMD Sempron<br/>its about 2-3 years old<br/><br/>Went to local tech store and they gave me the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/appropriate-363698" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPROPRIATE">APPROPRIATE</a> fan replacement (or so they told me) for this model.
