Atasas Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hello people! (On a phone), so I'll be short. Had this old dodgy PC, my other one boot messed up etc. Put "new" HDD in to box (old Dell mobo) that had some dodgy fix. It kept saying "evaluation copy, not for retail" and kept bleeping as "main system fan error, press F1 to continue"... anw.... So "new" HDD inn, fresh installed Win7, both nonses coming back! Run uninstall Daz, MBR regenerator, M$Toolkit 2.5 (with DotNetFrameWork 4.0) tried to uninstall. Still the same evaluation and fan messages on W7. BIOS is American Megattends (Dell) Vostro 220 series 1.0.2 09/24/2008 service tag [FCDT24J] But surely flashing from either boot or Windows will not clean up W10 Activator/fix... Just can not remember name of the tool to clean up ALL activators and their afterfects... HELP! Phlease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Flushed BIOS Vx20-124 (old was 1.0.2) graphics messed up etc, got to restart, but doubt any good will come from it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yay! Win message gone, but fan warning came up again. Got "new" plugged inn - the same... Why would BIOS be adamant of main sys fan failure, but it works? Perhaps BIOS management suite would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIKTOR PAVEL Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 most AMI bios manage fan speed! you sure fan is connect directly to mobo? coz fan can connect to rheobus any way, search bios settings where you can modify fan setting - most ami bios have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMI had some windows management suite, if I remember correctly for most of their BIOS. Hard to find it on a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIKTOR PAVEL Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 no fan setting! is your fan have 3 or 4 wires? 4 wires is with sensor is in your bios any temperature setting? (advanced options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 CPU 4 pin Sys 3 pin Tested 2 fans, either with or none connected - same error Advanced settings via alt+F1 or alt+F2 - nothing! Plenty of articles talking about BIOS images, but unlike normal BIOS makers they are not modifiable from Windows it seems... Doesn't make ANY sense as why it is moaning about the "failure" even after being flashed in to version 1.3.0 or doesn't allow to access Basic Interface Operating System management... And no, none temperature setting... Anw, off to bed, will have a look tomorrow. Thanks for intensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan7233 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 maybe you can go to " Power Management Setup" -> "Hardware Monitor" to see if any options there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but nope, none of the sort, only things as turning off one or the other port, but it's only in OS, not the real hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojet2011 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi Atasas, Try to change the Bios mainboard battery ( it looks like the changes won't be saved) Maybe this can help you: https://www.icare-recovery.com/howto/how-to-fix-cpu-fan-error-on-windows-pc-boot.html If I understand you correctly use Opatool to activate Windows 7 Hope it works Greetzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
