I've had my computer for over a year now and suddenly today i was watching a video when it lagged and then all of a sudden the screen went black. I turned it off and upon turning on again, I got the error "bios detected a problem with the cooling fan 902, press enter to shut down" I have the lastest bios as far as I know and iv tried blowing into the slots with compressed air but nothing works.
Hi,
Your BIOS will automatically shut-down your PC if it detects that it is overheating - in your case, it sounds like the graphics card fan, or other fan, has died which is why your laptop shutdown.
Please check this link for possible solutions:

Is it still under guarantee?

Yes i have seen that page but the problem with that is the file that is listed there was released in
April and my bios is the latest I believe, although I am not totally surewhich, was releases in June, if at all possible can you let me know by telling me how to check my bios on my computer, and also i downloaded that exe file before and ran t and it asked for the current and new bios id and versions. Also mt computer is able to start at random times but shut off randomly too and i have not been able to check if the fan is running
