Can a noisy cpu fan stop computer from booting?
I have a computer that wont boot and im suspecting it could be the cpu fan thats causing the problem. I was installing a new drive on the computer and having troubles so was rebooting a lot. Then the cpu fan started to make a grinding noise like worn bearings and the computer stopped booting at about the same time. I cant get anything on the screen what so ever but have tested the drive in another machine and its okay. I assumed that a faulty fan could stop a computer if the cpu gets too hot but that didn't happen in this case. The fan was still spinning and when it first happened the BIOS showed the cpu temp at around 32C.
Can the Bios detect a fan that spins slower than it should and stop the computer from booting?
