1- Sometimes I have been encountering the error message below(first screen shot below) many times continuously, although the CPU temperatures are not high when detecting CPU with core temp( as shown below in second screen shot)
Check to see if there is a newer graphics driver available from HP's support web site and install it.

I have been told by an advance HP community member that
The reason to get a new fan is precisely because you do not want to open it twice. Frankly the fan not detected error is really unlikely to be fixed by cleaning the fan. They are inexpensive and readily available. This is the fan you need:

Buy it from HP. Ask if they have / sell the Clips and Thermal tape.
However, I am asking here that the fan to be purchased from the Yemeni merchant is just a single fan(NOT an entire cooling system assembly), and The seller said that it is a replacement for my OEM fan and will
not offer a refund if it does not work.
Don't buy it from them, as no refund is offered.
Also, I don't have any copper clips and some thermal tape. All what I have now is a fan, and thermal grease. So, do you think that it is worth a try to purchase the new fan with $50 from the Yemeni merchant(I.e.
do you think that only the new fan will fix the problem with my temperature and error 'system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating properly' appearing to me in the first start).
Nothing is an absolute certainty, but you need to try.
3- Note: that some thermal tape was torn while removing the old fan from the heatsink, I found there was thermal tape which was torn. That material is easy to be torn. Can
l find another one to reuse it while bolting the new fan in the heat sink.. (look in the screen shot below)
only a piece of that thermal silver tape that was torn. In particulare, the the end coming from the top end of metal plate and spanning the fan was torn. The end of that that tape stuck to fan was torn.
i would like to determine where the thermal tape which was torn while removing old fan from heatsink. The thermal tape is shown specifically in the thing/ object shown in the left side of the very top end in the screenshot below.
That tape is just thick adhesive used to help stick the fan tight with the metal plate. I couldn't find like it. Yes the fan can be bolted in the metal plate again even without that tape. However, i am expecting that tape would help stick fan tight with metal
plate, so no air leakage will be.
Again check HP for new tape.
4- To replace the fan what does this involves me?
I know these requirements:::
a couple small screws, some copper clips and some thermal silver tape, and **** Isopropyl Alcohol.****
However, What else is involved? What is cloth or oily film that does not leave any lint ?
a) Clean it once with a piece of cloth and Alcohol. Let it dry for about an hour.
b) Take another piece of cloth and rub it over the area you cleaned.
c) Now look at the cloth an see if there is any film on the cloth indicating that there is still some thermal paste that was not visible to your eyes but the cloth is still not totally clean.
d) If not totally clean take a fresh piece of cloth with alcohol and clean it again. Wait an hour and repeat steps b and c until the cloth is totally clean.
