Windows 10: Card cage alert fan failure, press F1 to continue, Dell Precision T3500

Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 10 Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763


I've had this problem on and off for about a year. I have not replaced the fan, it simply runs at full speed, I assume because the operating system does not detect the hardware and therefore defaults the fan to full on. This issue is severely limiting my use of this computer, and I am considering replacing it if this does not change.






***Modified Title from: Every time I start up the computer I receive an alert card cage fan failure and have to press F1 to continue***

Dell Precision T3500 will not start

I have a problem with My Dell precision T3500 that will not start . From the diagnostic lights it is a PB12 fault , system board component . The night before , I switched the computer off and a fan was loud but I checked temps and everything seemed ok . I tried clearing the BIOS but it did not solve the problem . Checked the GPU on another machine and was told it was working . All peripherals disconnected . Can anyone render advice please ?

 

Press F1 to continue!

Okay, this is what is on the "Press-F1 screen":

I'm going to try some of the things that you guys suggested now.

Well, I figured out what was wrong. It took all of about 2min. of investigation, LOLz. I just never took the time to try to figure it out because it really didn't bother me to press F1.

Thanks for the help guys!

12 means a motherboard power regulator failure.

You will need to consider replacing the motherboard or upgrading to a new system or taking the cpu ram and other stuff and put them in a new board...

Proof is right here
