Compaq Presario S5300NX (DM174A#ABA) PC Desktop: Compaq Presario Dekstop: CPU Fan error on bootup. ...

Hello There "A"
Usually PCs that won't boot its for any of these reasons:
1) Voltage on outlet check this*
2) bad Power Supply.
3) bad RAM
4) any near CPU capacitors, on the motherboard.*

- Clean the CPU Fan with blower.
If while performing any step cpu goes to 100% then it seems problem can be due to hidden background running services, so i would suggest you to disable them with the help of Reginout, download it.

First - re-seat the harddisk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot andgo into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If itdoesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.Then the hard drive needsto be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer orlaptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioningcomputer/laptop again.

Hi, Lets try this to isolate the problem.
1. Hold down the power button just to check if the power button switch is not the one defective, if it continues with initialization then switch might be defective,
2. Second isolation was the power supply, since you had changed it already we proceed to next step,
3. remove/reset the cmos battery, the memory and the processor for 20 minutes and other cards in expansion slot.
4.After 20 minutes install the battery, memory and processor and video card. If it has the on board video, use it first before using the video card in expansion slot if any.
5. Power on the PC.
6. If still the same our last resort of problem would be the mother board itself.
