cleolindaOkay, someone tell me what this means, or rather, what to do about it:
I boot up the computer, it says "CPU fan failure."
I boot it up again, and it says "Previous fan failure. System battery is low."
Is there some (relatively) easy replacement for both of these, or do I need to startselling kidneys pricing new computers?
ETA: It's a desktop. Yes, given that this is a possible overheating issue, I am treating this like an emergency.

I definitely recommend turning off the computer and getting it fixed before you use it again. If you lived in Georgia, I would definitely offer to come over to fix it for you. I hope you can find someone to do it for you for a reasonable price. Good luck!
