Air Pump Fan Failed to Respond Correctly
my computer not working right, it slow to respond for steam, my browser with chrome and my game had bad FPS issues

I keep getting the Error: Air Pump Fan Failed to Respond Correctly on the white dell assist screen or white BIOS boot up screen

it took me 2 hours to get my computer to play cyberpunk 2077 without any FPS issues



not taking it back to the same repair shop I did twice this year, think there doing a bad job to fix it, fan monitor and bench mark apps aren't going to help with my PC running badly


I spent around $300 CAD to upgrade my ram to 32 gb and clean my PC and on the second visit a diagnostic which was $52 within the $300 amount in Canadian dollars, the repair guy was a teenager and owner from South Asia



my PC specs


alienware aurora r12
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Operating System Windows 11
RAM 32 GB

check the box for loose unconected cables. check the fans to make sure all are running. nows the time to be a comp geek on

build is about 4 years old
could be a stuck/dead fan, or dead aio pump

open it and see that all fans spin freely

dell is complete garbage for doing this

do yourself a huge favor and get a standard atx case with some airflow
and the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE

something like this

or pick case from filter to find one you like more

will take a couple hours or more to swap it out
but after it will run much much cooler and not throttle
