Hi,
When I boot up my PC, a message of the so-called Error Code 900
(« CPU Fan not detected (900) CPU Fan is not detected or may have malfunctioned ») appears on my screen.
The fan is perfectly connected to the motherboard, he is clean and there's no dust. He gets a bit noisy if the PC works in a normal state (even if he is high charged).
The CPU is not too hot (less than 75 °C) and the cooling paste is good dispersed on the component.
How can I solve this technical problem which annoys me very much ?
Thanks for your help.

HP fans are special, as are dells. , oem are.
first off the BIOS checks the fan and runs it totally based on thermal demands.
the BIOS also has table showing the relation ship of PWM to RPM ( it sets PWM and if RPM is wrong bam errors)
if they do not match it warns you of that. by DESIGN.
1:a dead fan.
2: fan is slow. due to lent packed or bearings bad, aka, a bad fan.
3: using non HP fans,
4: plugged in to wrong jack or indexed wrong (off center 1 pin not wired)
5:worse, bad mobo driver to fan , bad mobo caused.
