Inspiron 1150 #M1004 error after HD upgrade
Hi,
I'm working on a friend's Inspiron 1150 which had the original Hitachi hard drive fail. I replaced it with a Western Digital WD600VE and while trying to re-install Windows XP Pro the system shut itself off and presented me with the error associated with M1004.
"The system automatically powered off to maintain system temperature requirements. The air flow from the system fan vents may be obstructed. Please consult your owners manual for proper maintenance and ensure that the system fan is clear of any dust or debris.
If this problem recurs, please call Dell Support with error code #M1004"
The laptop is running BIOS A06. I've seen some references to upgrading this - I've only found A07 on Dell's support download website but the readme doesn't mention anything about the fan speed (although there is some mention of CPU clocking, I think).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll keep looking too...
Thanks,
-Mark.

Yes! Once I was able to figure out how to pull everything apart that seems to have resolved the problem. Any know if I should be upgrading the BIOS while I'm working on the laptop?Thanks!441

My thought. Only upgrade the BIOS if you are having a problem with the old one. If the flash doesn't go right you may end up replacing the Mother Board.441

I had the exact same error code after a motherboard replacement. Perhaps it is a common/everyday error? Either way, it would be nice to fix it without having to get a new fan apparatus.441

My Dell Inspiron 1150 has just started turning itself off and when re-started I get the overheating #m1004 error message. Can anyone assist with how to fix this issue?

Make sure the fan is operating and that the heatsink is free of any dust accumulation. With a system this old it may also be necessary to replace the thermal interface material between the heatsink and CPU.
