CPU FAN ERROR

I just bought a computer first day on it.. and my screen just shut off then a screen called like agent setup comes on then a page with all my stuff in my computer and at the bottom it says CPU FAN ERROR?

I am sure DST4ME will chime in here, but from what I have read and troubleshooted, I have gotten that error as well. Now we all need to know what Motherboard you are using to move forward and help you. But in the meantime I will assist you with what little knowledge I know from having that error. I have the Asus Rampage Extreme IV, and I am not sure and I dont see why not but the user interface when entering the Motherboard bios setup would be the same layout, dont quote me on that. But when I got that error the first time, DS had walked me through and under your cpu fan monitor's theres an option to "ignore" and you have to select that and save it, but that of course is because I have liquid cooling so the fan doesn't exist. Now that was for the cooling side of things. Later on I got that same error again, computer shuts down and you think your computer is just kuput, I removed all the RAM cards out and tested 1 by one to see if the "cpu fan error" went away, which of course it did with 1 stick triggering the "cpu fan error". Fixed that and then things go smooth and then again that fan error again. Noticed on the board that 2 of the PCIE slots were not lit up and getting no power, so yeah the motherboard was bad and just crapping out slowly one thing after another. So theres my 2 cents hope this helps. BTW I sent the computer back, changing a new MOBO with liquid cooled GPU,CPU and chipset is no easy task.

Well it could be, but you have very different builds, his could just be a fan, but before we ignore it we want to make sure all fans are running, all temps are where they are suppose to be.

Having said that, since his pc shutdown, it could be many things from heat to oc settings.

@SpaceManCraig if you can post your specs also that would be great.

Screenshot of HWMonitor and your specs please.

Did you get the pc oced?

All my fans are running btw.

Click on the link in my previous post and download and install it and then run it, what are you using for temps?

Also is your pc oced right now? if yes what are you checking it with?

What are you checking your oc with right now?

can you give us a screen shot of your hw with all the temps showing?

There

CPU-Z

I'll run it tonight and see what happens

Just run it for an hour, it stress cpu/gpu like nothing else, keep a close eye on temps, hdd/ssd temps are not affected or important for this test.

also tell me what if anything is connected to the cpu fan connector.

Watcha think?

ah? I'm confused lol.. Do you have Skype or something?

There is a little fan on my mother board it's about a 40m fan or something . I mean all the fans are running fine.

Ok so I'm clear, you are saying there is a 40mm fan connected to the cpu fan connector in the diagram?

LOL you don't sound so sure.

if that is the fan thats connected to it and its not running, then that fan needs to be changed and you need to talk to DS about it.

it right under my cpu
