Does anybody experience this issue after 3.14 bios flashed. My machine is Compaq sr1710nx. When bootup, system fan failure was detected and have to press F2 to continue. I am not even able to get in bios setup menu any more. When get into XP, new hardware was found and ask me to install driver.
Any comment will be appreciated.

My 2 watts:

I have the same PC, and received the same error after updating to 3.14. Since the SR1710NX box did not come with a system fan, I see why the new BIOS says what it does. I don't know if the old BIOS (3.13 or earlier) was not capable of detecting a system fan, or the 3.14 is set up to detect it by default and 3.13 detection was set to off because of the lack of a system fan as the SR1710NX was sold.

It takes a little practice and experimentation to get into the set-up, but you can do it. I had the same trouble. Try hitting F1 before, during, after... so on. You will find the correct time to hit the F1 by trial and error.

Because I installed two extra HDDs, the inside of the box was too warm for my liking and the original 100GB Maxtor got quite hot. This morning I figured it was time to install a fan to blow on the HDD bay. It's hooked up to the system fan connector next to the parallel/printer connector on the mobo. I don't get the system fan failure error any more at boot-up.

I still get the "New Hardware Found" when XP/SP2 boots. I simply told it to no longer detect the hardware, and have not been bothered since. It's possible there's a WinXP/SP2 hardware monitor (system temp) that is missing it's driver. With BIOS 3.13 and earlier, WinXP didn't look for the system fan driver, now it does..

Hope this helps

Thanks Edwin - the file along with winflash worked like a charm.

Note - Windows Vista users, you may need to re-activate your copy of windows. After the BIOS update I was given 3 days to activate, the online activation process told me that my key was already registered on another machine (uh oh I thought) - but then after trying the automated phone serive method and entering a load of numbers over the phone to a Robot I was given a key that activated Windows again without any trouble.

RMA time. Why no regular floppy drive? Keep a spare one until they finally work out a decent bootable USB stick...

Search for AMD away. Got it by email from someone.

Thanks edwin. I got your email with the 3.14 bios. You are the best!!

Edwin please send me the 3.14 bios for my SR1750NX.
I'm not sure if it's with all hp bioses but fedora core 6 reports an ACPI error timer not connected to bios with version 3.13..... Maybe that is what is up with the high level of cpu usage? Anyway I would like to see if 3.14 will fix it, and it will be useful for my xp part as well.
