Hope I can explain this, without being confusing. A few days ago my power supply burned up. I had it replaced with a new one by a local computer repair store. When I hooked everything back up and turned it on I received the ACPI Bios Revision window. Everything was listed fine except for Hardware Monitor found an error.
Press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup. I never had this happen before. If I press F1 to continue everything loads up just fine and p.c. is working great.
I can't find anything wrong when I do the F2 setup under the monitor.
I always use to get just one boot up screen before windows actually started, the one that comes after you push the F1 key to continue.
I can't get any satisfaction from the man that replaced the power supply except to bring it back in.
I know there must be a way to fix this without him messing with it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA

I just noticed when I went to set up (F2) under Hardware Monitor (Fan Speed) N/A
Should this have a speed amount?
Could this be the problem from the message above?
