Dell XPS One CPU Fan Failure and will not shutdown

If your Dell XPS One A2010 has a 'CPU Fan Failure' message that occurs during every boot, don't worry the solution only takes about 5 minutes. Accompanying the 'CPU Fan Failure' alert, the system might also fail to enter sleep mode, hibernation, or shutdown properly, forcing a manual shutdown. Both of these issues were/are caused by Dell's BIOS update 2.0.5 for the Dell XPS One A2010. NEITHER OF THE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED IN DELL'S BIOS UPDATE RELEASE 2.0.6 AND IT WILL NOT FIX THEM. (The 2.0.6 update only changes the boot logo to the New Dell Logo. I guess that is more important than patches.)

To fix these issues download the previous BIOS 2.0.4 which you can download here.
