'Battery Alert' appears before the 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.', however, ' Cooling Fan Alert' appears after 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.'

Hi,

First of all: I know that I have been having a problem with my HP Laptop Battery, and with its cooling Fan.

However, I am now wondering what detected this error below as long as it was shown even before  the notification saying 'the press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' Thus, if the BIOS detected that there was a problem with the HP Battery storage', then this error should have been listed after 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' was passed.

'HP Battery Alert:    The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.'

That alert lasted about 15 seconds, and then the 'press 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' is shown.

Next: This is error below showed me::

'The system didn't detect that a cooling fan is operating correctly'

I know that BIOS detected that a problem with 'Cooling Fan' since the Alert of error was shown after passing 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.'

Any comments would be highly appreciated

    Step #1) Since the Thermal Compound is the least expensive solution I would try another brand of silicon that has good reviews and apply it like I mentioned previously ( 1 small bead in the center with 4 small beads in a square about half way to each edge of the CPU.

    If you can clean / remove the old paste using material (I use small white coffee filters) that does not leave any fibers behind (on the surface o the CPU). Apply a small amount of 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to the coffee filter and wipe the CPU clean (you may need to repeat the cleaning process until there is no evidence of the old compound on the filter).

    Now let the CPU sit for about 20 minutes and then apply the paste / compound as shown below. 

    Now run Core Temp and see if the problem is resolved and post back how much cooler the CPU is under load.

    1. Hold off on buying the new fan until you try using the new paste as applied in step #1 to see if it solves the over heating problem.

    1st) See if you can find the brand of thermal paste you purchased and read the reviews: http://www.newegg.com/Thermal-Compound-Grease/SubCategory/ID-85

    2nd) You need to replace the fan which is the important things on your list which is why I made the comment about eBay.

    3rd) I have no answer as to why the strange readings.

    Thanks a lot,

    1st) no my thermal compound paste is not like what you have linked from newegg.com. That one you have linked its link is silver compound grease, however, mine is silicon. I have not found silver compound grease in my country. Yemen.

    2nd) you meant that I must replace old fan with the new one fan which is sold for $50. It would be definitely solve the problem? Or the problem is not with old fan which was cleaned and it was like the new one. However, it is with thermal  compound I used.

    Thanks a lot,

    You have other websites at which sellers can ship to Yemen. I know that Amazon.com, Newegg.com don't ship to Yemen.

    Why have ignored my other points: Firstly, secondly, and finally?

    Thirdly: If you wouldn't use eBay.com to purchase, then what else I can use if amazon.com, and others don't ship to Yemen.

    If eBay is your only option then check the seller's feedback / approval rating for positive and negative reports.
