URGENT! CPU Fan Error!

[fkdup74]

I've had this PC since september and I havn't opened it or knocked it so nothing could be disconnected... I'm thinking that it was always on ignore and I did or a virus removal did something that reset it to the default settings.

unless the virus infected your BIOS (is that possible? )
then your virus scanner shouldnt have touched the settings
and even then, CAN a virus scanner fk with the BIOS?

either way, ignoring the errors isnt something i would do, not in the BIOS
i would try to see what can be done to fix the prob, but thats just me

Something is very odd :/ My case has a see through side and that CPU Fan is working perfectly :/ but whenever I reboot I get that beeping and that lo-fi chinese voice "CPU FAN FAIL!"

But I can just press F1 and get into Windows...

Is there no software issue that could cause this? Did I not maybe reset settings or something while trying to get into safe mode I was pushing random F buttons?

Edit: I just went into Bios and in hardware monitoring:

CPU Temp: 52 Degrees Celcius

CPU Fan speed - N/A
Chasis Fan Speed - N/A
Power Fan Speed - 5400RPM

Cool n Quiet - Enabled

Q-Fan - Disabled

Try it with Cool n Quiet Disabled.

There are viruses that can screw with your BIOS, yes. Or at least there used to be, but they have never been very common.

The extremely paranoid can set their bios to write protected to avoid the chance of that happening, I guess

Well, This thing was called PruttCT... when killing the process in the task manager it would double and AVG always found it as Ei.exe, always said it was deleted, but it was always there... Eventually I deleted it manually from Local Users temp, Windows System 32 and Preftech...

I fucking hope that it didn't fuck with my bios.
