When I start my computer sometimes I get this warning stating "CPU Fan Fail".

I opened the cabinet to check but the CPU fan was working i.e rotating properly and no wires are hamprering the air flow.
This problem starting occuring after I installed my new Graphic Card(Leadtek 6600LE)

Also, sometimes this problem does not occur.

also check if the three pin connector from the mobo to the fan is fine....because the third wire is what measures the fan speed and if continuity is lost there, then the bios will report as failure of cpu fan.


say, what do u mean, reset the bios? reset cmos to default values?

Installing the Graphic Card has put your SMPS with more power demands and its unlikely its playing good.
Change your SMPS and try getting atleast 400 Watts or likewise.
