1 long beep, 4 short beeps
Solved
Hello,
Here is my problem, my desktop computer suddenly restarted and now when I try to turn it on, there is 1 long beep, 4 short beeps followed by this message: Warning: Your CPU fan fail or sleep too low. Apparently, it seems to be a problem with the fan, but I don't know if the speed is too high or too low. I cleaned my fan to remove all the dust, but the message is still appearing. I then tried to disable the message, but I can't access the BIOS. I removed the BIOS battery for the reset but the message still appears.
What is, precisely, the nature of this warning message and how can I fix it?
Thank you!

ContributorHello,
too low means trop bas
It might simply be a bad connection of the CPU plug on the motherboard. Remove it and reinsert it, that might be enough.
It could also be a contact issue between the heatsink and the CPU. Have you checked the thermal paste?

I am considering a change of CPU fan.

It's a problem with the fan. Do you see it spinning or not when the PC starts up?
