Back up and running. I replaced the heat sink and CPU fan, which had been making noise for a long while. Then much to my surprise when I rebooted the computer, I still got the fan alarm. Only I read it closer and it said my chipset fan was the culprit. Doh! Anyway, I unplugged it from the board and rotated it a few times by hand to make sure it was spinning freely. When I rebooted, it started up just fine. Obviously I will have to keep and eye on it, but my computer does alarm when it is malfunctioning, so that should be cool. And I am so glad I replaced the CPU fan anyway because it has been a problem for a long while. Now I can not worry about it anymore.
Anyway, I am back in business!
