Asus P4S533 & Alpha 8942 Issue.

Necrosis · Aug 17, 2002, 11:19 PM

I recently picked up an Alpha to replace my stock heatsink/fan. It works wonderful! However, there is one small problem. When I bought up the bios comes up with this error.

"Hardware Monitor found an error. Enter Power Setup menu for details."

I look in my bios and everything is just fine. The problem (I think) is that it's no longer seeing the RPM signal from the stock heatsink/fan, so it thinks there is a failure. How do I shut this off? Where it would read the sensor it now says N/A like it should.

I've been to the Asus site but their support area is hosed.

I have a similar issue... although, only every few reboots. Have you tried changing the monitoring to "ignore" in the BIOS power setting.

I have done this, and haven't seen the error in a few days.

Yes I have actually. However, it will not let me select that option because it comes up as N/A. I had to buy a fan with an output for the RPM readings. I'm using the 1009 bios as well. Works fine now. The problem your having seems to be a normal thing with the boards if you have read the Asus forums.

Pls check again whether or not the CPU fan is connected(not dirty and secured) to connector marked CPU FAN(3-pin).
if not you'll get that error.
