Hi usa67us,

What are your system specs?

Is this a home built or store bought PC?

What brand and wattage is the power supply?

Is the replacement fan the same size and type as the original fan?

Fan Replacement

Cricket; I have a AMD Duron 1.3 processor, motherboard is Shuttle AK31, 256K mem, 80 gig HD. homebuilt. I have resolved this issue, but thanks for offering the help. I set the jumper for the CMOS to reset to default Bios settings, computer then came on and I reset the Bios to all of the original settings, everything is now working just as before. I want to thank the other person who replied, I think it was Firefly. once again thanks. usa67us (Ray from Texas.)
