    Dell dimension 8200 when alert came on fan failure I opended and cleaned fan and totaly dusted out with air compresser. (DID THIS A YEAR AGO WORKED PERFECT) This time I now get a black screen with alert previous fan failure. I can hit F1 to continue or F2 to get to bios. I know the fan is working and all is OK just would like to get rid of this message. PS I Do not mess with bios unless someone is holding my hand. THANKS someone here has always been able to help me. Marie :)

    Hello Marie,

    Lets try something simple.

    Do go into the BIOS and - do nothing - and exit, the system may need that action to reset.

    Regards - Charles

    Tried it but it did not work. I might just take it to Best Buy and see what their techs say
