A little help plz! LOVING new pc btw`

Just want to start by saying, we have been absolutely LOVING our new Digital Storm rig! It has been a pleasure, and absolutely blows through every game thus far maxed out- while streaming! Wonderful machine, mucho gratitude!

Now to just a problem that started tonight. During a DayZ stream, which I have done plenty of, it started lagging like crazy in game and then the pc shut down.

Upon attempting to turn it back on, it would only for 20 or so seconds. Finally, probably 5th attempt, it gave a 'CPU Fan speed error detected,' and I had to start bios.

Couple questions, thanks for hanging in there this far!-
1. Do you think this issue has anything to do with the turning off and not back on?

And before my 2nd, I changed no settings in bios, manually turned off, turned back on and so far so good- but haven't stressed it via game yet.

2. On the right side of the Apollo, upon opening the case, a little black box of sorts was dangling- it appears once was stickered on the back of what seems the mobo, cpu area. I apologize for being a noob with pc's, part of the reason I bought. Here are the stats, just in case relevant.


Motherboard: ASUS X99-A

Processor: Intel Core i7 5820K 3.3GHz

System Memory: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum DHX (Extreme-Performance)

Graphics Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB (ASUS Strix Edition)

Extreme Cooling: H20: HydroLux LITE: Integrated Cooling System




Now that I begin to think back, early on I did have a ram error, but upon a restart it went away. Now I just put the dangling, small box back onto whatever it was on, it sticked back. Easy to take on and off, I will post a pic of that in case of relevance, but I doubt it is.


Any and all help appreciated, and thanks so much everyone! This pc is a monster!!!

That was dangling, I just stuck it back on. It isnt connect ed, just had an adhesive type back to it. Relevant?

Center picture, and then the other is zoomed- where the white connectors/pin are. That box was dangling, so to speak. It has an adhesive on it, so I pressed it back on. I doubt that is the cause of the issue, just wanted to state just in case.

Is there a way to monitor temps on screen, while stressing?

I think the board that loosened is the DS fan control board.  Should be fine, just needing to be pressed back on.

Not staying asleep, or is that a windows 10 thing? Lol, never stays asleep over night. Also, the temp display is either 30 or AA.. Just figured I'd throw those out in case anyone is privvy!

Beast machine, thanks again!

Why sleep to begin with? My pcs are on 24/7

hell I don't even sleep myself
