At boot up, system displays "CPU Fan Failure Service
Immediately" and then shuts down. I can press F2 and
then the system boots okay. Why is this happening? The
fan seems to be working just fine, I opened the box up to
look for the CPU Fan, no fan, just a big heatsink with a
funnel from the system fan down to it.
 
You have a hardware problem and this is a newsgroup for Windows XP. You
should contact the computer manufacturer and you should do so quickly.

Paul, I found this info at the HP support site:

HP Desktop PCs - Resolving CPU Fan Failed Error Message


Error: F2 to continue to boot. Otherwise, the system will
power down in five seconds.


NOTE: Verify system fan configuration prior to making
changes in the BIOS by removing the side panel from the
computer and inspect for the presence system fans.
Active heat sink: hardware monitor/CPU fan check -
Enabled
Passive CPU heat sink: hardware monitor/CPU fan check -
Disabled
Fan duct with fan: hardware monitor/system fan check -
Enabled
Fan duct w-out/fan: hardware monitor/system fan check -

Resolve the CPU Fan Failed error message as follows:


Turn on the computer.

At the HP splash screen, press F11.

Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate to the
Advanced menu.

In the Advanced menu, use the up and down arrow keys to
navigate to Hardware Monitor, and press Enter.

Navigate to CPU Fan Check and press Enter.

Use the up and down arrow keys to set CPU Fan Check to
Disabled, and press Enter.

Press Enter to save your new settings.

I agree with Mr. Swift, in the meanwhile if you go to download.com and download

SiSoft Sandra, FREE, you can check on the temperature of your CPU
and motherboard. The manufacturer can tell you what the correct
temperature should be. :-)
