It is the BIOS that is telling that there is a fan error after testing the fans at startup even if the fans seem to work with no problem. I experienced the same as Rory Mooney when I was one week in Denver (I live in Europe otherwise). When I came back there was no problem. It seems that Rory Mooney also is in Denver at the moment, so it must be a Dell-Denver-Syndrom :-) I don't know what is causing it, maybe the thin air or the net-voltage etc... Anyway the fans worked on my machine when I used it, but I was extra careful. -- Preben Randhol ---------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", Isaac Asimov
