Laptop fan stopped working
So when I turned on my computer I got this message
"The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly.
Continued operation is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behavior that could result in random shutdown, data loss or possible system damage. The system will shutdown in 15 seconds. To prevent shutdown and continue operation, press the Enter key now.
System Fan (908)"
The first time I booted up anyways. I saw that the computer was getting very hot and the fan did not seem to work. I downloaded Speed Fan and it did not detect any fans.
I was wondering whether there was anything that could cause this or if I just have to change out the fan (I just don't want to switch the fan and then find out that I had a setting wrong somewhere) I haven't made any major changes to the laptop recently, the only thing that would have changed might be windows update.
Also, if I need to replace the fan, could you guys link some good sites/videos to help me out?
Thanks!
