Hello,

It started yesterday, I turn on my computer and I get two readings: Keyboard Failure and Previous Fan Failure, press F1....

My keyboard works but I am afraid to run my computer for fear that I will overheat something. Any suggestions? I have a Dell Dimensions 8200 Desktop which I absolutely love and don't want to replace. Thanks in advance for your help.

You are correct in that you should not run the computer with the fan. Any repair shop should be able to replace either the fan or the entire CPU cooler/fan assembly.
