“ERROR: CPU Fan Has Failed!” On an HP computer -SOLUTION
December 1st, 2009One of the following errors, or similar errors, appear when an HP computer is turned on:
CPU Fan Failed. Press F2 to continue to boot. Otherwise, the system will power down in five seconds. Have system serviced immediately.
or
“ERROR: CPU Fan Has Failed! PC will automatically power down in a few seconds. Service the PC immediately to prevent damage to the PC.”
SOLUTION-
First replace your CR2032 battery on the motherboard. (purchase anywhere batteries are sold.) Then do the following.
Right after you turn the computer on start tapping the F2 and the F11 keys back and forth until you get into the special Administrator BIOS. (looks like regular BIOS). At the bottom of the screen it will tell you what key to hit to reset defaults. Do it.
Next go to the Advanced tab and scroll down until you see Hardware Monitor, choose it and hit ENTER. Verify that the first two items are disabled. If not, disable them. Hit F10 to save and exit.
Problem solved until the next time your CMOS battery dies. (about 5 years)

How to disable popup – Ran out of profile storage space
April 29th, 2009You get a pop-up window coming up every few seconds notifying you
that you’re out of profile storage space, also you cannot shutdown your pc unless you clean up your
directory.
Here’s the workaround solution for this problem. You need to be a local administrator to be able to do
this, so log in to Windows as Administrator in Safe Mode (tap f8 repeatedly as computer is first booting).
1. Open windows explorer
2. Find file c:\windows\system32\proquota.exe
3. Right click on the file and go to Security->Advanced
4. Uncheck “Inherit from parent the permission entries …”, make sure you’ve removed all
permissions from this file
That’s it, from now on proquota will not be able to execute and you won’t have these annoying
pop ups *.
* this has been tested on Windows XP Pro SP2 and SP3
