How to disable or change fan check RPM settings at boot?

Hello all...
My system specs:
HP p6180t
Prod#: AV129AV#ABA
Q9550 Processor
8 GB RAM
IPIEL-LA3 Motherboard
Upgraded:
Corsair HX650W Power Supply
Asus GeForce GTX560
My original processor cooling fan stopped working recently and I chose to replace with a better heatsink while I was at it. I used a Cooler Master Gemini II M4 because it was the only increased capacity cooler that would fit in my current case. 
After install, I got the "Error: CPU fan has failed, computer will now shut down to prevent damage to CPU. Etc..." 
My guess is the motherboard doesn't like the new fan that came with the new heat sink. The fan is larger and I'm sure spins at a lower RPM than the stock fan. I checked my BIOS settings and do NOT have the "Hardware Monitor" section under the "Advanced" tab. My BIOS is at a newer level than what the HP site will provide for updates (mine is: 
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 5.09, 8/19/2009).
Is there another way to change the RPM fan speed settings to avoid the error at boot other than in the BIOS?
I am able to boot the computer by using a similar sized 4-pin fan plugged into the motherboard while the proper sized fan (actually mounted to the heatsink) is unplugged. Even with no fan, the new heatsink is keeping the processor at 45 C or lower across all 4 cores under medium load. 
I suppose I could always leave this small fan plugged in to the motherboard for the BIOS to be happy and power the CPU fan off of molex power (along with an additional case fan). This would be a last option as I would rather know if my CPU fan isn't working...
Any and all help is very appreciated, thank you!
John
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I understand that your new fan is not detected as working properly by BIOS.  The BIOS doesn't provide all that many options to control functions such as fan speed and there isn't a way to access this feature to the best of my knowledge.  I am afraid that the workaround you mentioned might be your only option with the existing fan without access to this setting in BIOS.  
You mentioned you connected a similar sized fan to bypass the error.  Does the fan have a higher RPM than the fan sitting on top of the heat sink?  Reviewing the images located here, it looks like the fan is detachable and could be replaced with the fan that works with the BIOS.  This is provided that the fan that gets past BIOS will fit the heat sink.

  • How to disable erroneous template lock checks in Dreamweaver CC?

    I am building a Coldfusion & Bootstrap based app. I have been happily working on it previously in DW CS6. Upon starting work in DW CC I keep getting a "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded" pop-up message every time I try to edit the index.cfm document.
    This project does not use DW templates and neither have I *ever* used DW templates. I have searched for solutions, all of which point to using "Modify > Templates > Detach from template", but since this file *isn't* a template, this option is greyed out and so not available.
    How do I switch off this check as it is completely stopping me from using DW CC with CFM files that use JavaScript libraries (i.,e. just about everything I do that is CF based!). I realise CF support is being deprecated in DW, but surely it should not be completely prevented from working? Is this a bug?

    The error message is applicable for Libraries as well.

  • How to disable or change the value of h:commandlink jsf component

    Hi,
    I am a student. I am using h:commandlink. I need to change the value of the component once it is clicked by the user. How do i do that?
    If i cannot change the displayed value of the commandlink. I am thinking of atleast disabling the link once the user clicked., to avoid the link being clicked more than once by the user.
    <h:commandlink id = "follow" action = "usermanager.followdoctor" value = "Follow"/>
    Usermanager is my managed bean class for this jsp page. The value "Follow" is the one that i want to be changed to "following" once it is clicked. Please help me. Thanks for your time in advance.

    Hello qimbal2,
    Thanks for getting back to me. you are right , i should disable the link as soon as it is clicked. I went ahead and implemented this logic by using a property in my bean class and binding that property to the value of my link. I wrote the logic in my action method in such a way that when i click on follow for the first time, the value of the link would change to 'Following' and the link would be disabled. It works for me now.
    Thanks,

  • Oracle 11g - how to disable the Static Type-Checking of XQuery Expressions

    Hi,
    I loaded XML files using pl/sql in Oracle 10 suggesfully and now after upgrading to 11g the thing doesn't work anymore.
    I believe the problem has to do with the DTD, the xml files structure is not as specified in the DTD. I did get away in Oracle 10 issuing the alter session set events ='31156 trace name context forever, level 2' in the code. Now this doesn't seem to have any effect. When loading the xml file I get the following error message
    "ORA-19276 XPST0005 - Xpath step specifies an invalid element/attribute name"
    How can I skip the checking as I can't change the DTD's.
    TIA,
    Kari

    DTD Support in Oracle XML DB
    A DTD is a set of rules that define the allowable structure of an XML document. DTDs are text files that derive their format from SGML and
    can be associated with an XML document either by using the <code>DOCTYPE</code> element or by using an external file through a DOCTYPE
    reference. In addition to supporting XML Schema, which provides a structured mapping to object-relational storage or binary XML storage,
    Oracle XML DB also supports DTD specifications in XML instance documents. Though DTDs are not used to derive the mapping, XML
    processors can still access and interpret the DTDs.
    Inline DTD Definitions
    When an XML instance document has an inline DTD definition, it isused during document parsing. Any DTD validations and entity
    declaration handling is done at this point. However, once parsed, theentity references are replaced with actual values and the original
    entity reference is lost.
    External DTD Definitions
    Oracle XML DB also supports external DTD definitions if they are stored in Oracle XML DB Repository. Applications needing to process an
    XML document containing an external DTD definition such as /public/flights.dtd, must first ensure that the DTD document is stored in Oracle XML DB at path /public/flights.xsd.
    .... thats all I could find...

  • How to *disable* or change behavior of brightness keys

    Hi there!
    I own a HP laptop with a dual Nvidia/Intel graphic card, with propietary drivers & bumblebee installed, and everything works perfect but brightness buttons.
    In fact, they work, but not as they should. When I press the brightness up button, it raises, but it does it a lot. If I press it again, the brightness sets to its maximum value when the progress bar it shows is on ~20%
    This is my theory of what's going on:
    I have 3 folders on  `/sys/class/backlight`:
    [root@Archpv3 backlight]# ls
    acpi_video0 acpi_video1 intel_backlight
    `acpi_video{0,1}` are, if not identical, equivalent: All the files inside them are equal. `intel_backlight` is different.
    `acpi_video{0,1}/max_brightness` is 100. But, experimentally, I have ensured that the actual max_brightness of my screen is 20.
    My theory is that, the thing listening on brightness buttons (and not, its not acpid), gets the maximum value from `acpi_video{0,1}/max_brightness`, and when I press a brighness button, it raises it to `acpi_video{0,1}/max_brightness`/10.
    There may be three solutions to this: Change the `max_brightness` to 20 by machete, or change the step by machete too. Other solution will be to tell the thing I want it to use `intel_backlight`.
    I dont' know how to do anyone of these because I still don't know what the hell is listening that events :\
    So, finally, and sorry for such a big intro, does anyone knows?
    Regards, and thanks in advance ^^
    EDIT: I though backticks ` will make the in-line code effect, but they didn't. Sorry if they annoy you xD

  • How to disable the  'Change - Display' Button in Cluster via SM34 ?

    Hi
    I have a View Cluster maintained with a transaction wich calls  SM34 passing it the Cluster.
    I need the dialog be only in display mode, so i'm looking for a way to disable the button Change<->Display.
    Does somebody knows how can i do this ? maybe with an event, the button does not appears or well making the button does not change the display mode (does not change the field VIEW_ACTION siwtch from 'S' to 'U')
    Thanks in advanced
    Frank

    Hi Frank,
    On SAP 4.7 Version
    1). Goto SHD0
    2). Enter the transaction code as SM34
    3). ENter the transaction Variant as say ZSM34
    4). Click on the create button --> this will take you to the sm34 screen. If you want to default some value or disable something on this screen just hit enter on this screen. You will get a popup window to select and restrict.
    5). You can further go to next screen and deactivate the menu. On the popup screen you will get a button MENU FUNCTIONS.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • How to disable red underline spelling checker

    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Whenever I use technical terms while writing emails the document ends up looking stupid (red wavy lines underlining half the words) and it bugs me when trying to read what I've written.
    There must be a way to kill this "helpful" feature.

    Thanks! That did it. It'd be ideal if I could just turn off the spell checker red line though. I actually like the auto correct feature.
    Until theres an option to kill the red line thing ill have to do without the handy auto correct.

  • How to disable manual change in shipment address in delivery

    Hi Gurus,
    My client's current configuration allows changing the shipment address  (partner tab in header of delivery) on the address tab  - without changing the ship-to party itself
    They now want to implement a change where all partner details will not only be picked from customer master - but also nobody should be able to change the address ( by double clicking on partner number and changing address on the address tab)
    Any ideas / suggestions ?
    Thanks,

    Dear SM,
    As per the standard functionality you can change the ship to party address at sales order and at delivery level.
    Try with this option.
    Take help of BASIS people to give the authorisation for change transactions VA02 and VL02N to the responsible User not for all users so that you can avoid this.
    Other than this you need to go for enhancement with the help of ABAPer.
    I hope this will help you,

  • How can I programmatically change the voltage range settings in a DAQ Assistant

    Hi,
    First post here.  
    I need to be able to change the voltage range properties of a daqmx DAQ Assistant based on user input.  My hardware, an SCXI-1102C does not allow changing this property on a running task, so I'd like to either set the analog input voltage range before the DAQ Assistant activates, or pause the DAQ Assistant immediately after it starts, set the values and then resume.
    I don't know how to edit the task ahead of time because the DAQ assistant creates the task when it runs, and there is no task before that.
    In the attached picture, I have a conditional section, set to run only if the while loop iteration is 0.  I take the task from the Daq assistant, send it to a stop task vi, set the property, and then send the task on to the start task vi. I can watch it run with the debug light on, and everything seems to work correctly, but on the second (and all the other) iteration of the loop, I read out AI.Max and it seems like the DAQ Assistant has re set it back to 5V.  Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
    BTW, this is continuous acquisition and the code does not produce error messages when it runs.
    I did come across a similar question that someone posted here back in 2006, but his question was specifically aimed at a Labview API (VB, I think), and not an actual G solution.
    Attached are the actual vi in question and a png image of the block diagram.

    First, if you want to start getting beyond the basics with DAQ, you are going to have to stop using the DAQ assistant and do it with lower level DAQmx VI's.  There are hundreds of examples in the example finder.  You can even right click on the DAQ assistant and select open front panel.  That will create a subVI that you can open and see what is going on behind the scenes.  Do it.  I think you'll find the DAQ task is being recreated on each (though I'm not 100% of how the settings are established or maintained in each section of that subVI).
    The second problem is you have a bit of a race condition on iteration 0.  Those two DAQ property nodes are running at the same time.  So when you read the AI.Max, it may be happening before or after the AI.Max is set in your case structure.
    Third, make sure you wire up your error wires.
