So, this is my first build. I finished it all and I thought I did a good enough job assembling the computer. However, when I first booted it I got the message...
"CPU Fan Error"
Press F1 to continue
I then pressed F1 and my UEFI BIOS came up. I noticed the cpu fan was spinning in the case and the BIOS was registering it between 600-725rpm. Then I noticed one of the front case fans was not spinning, however the light on it was lit and all the other fans were spinning. I figured this was something I could figure out shortly after installing windows and continued with the software. It was not long after I finished installing Windows 7 Home Premium OEM that the thing powered off and rebooted. It went right into the boot up and then stopped at the Safe Mode screen.
I tried multiple times to connect to the internet to make sure all the drivers on the MB were up to date but could not. So I used the driver disc that came with the MB. After I finished that, I noticed it was still both randomly rebooting as well as giving me the CPU Fan Error message.
So my question is, where do I start? I am completely clueless right now. I do have the CPU fan plugged into the correct header, this I checked. The BIOS says everything is alright. I tried to check the Performance event log, however the computer shutdown while i was doing that, so i came here.
Here is my rig...
i7-2600k
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
P8z77-v
Crucial M4 128GB
HIS Radeon HD 7850
PC power and cooling Silencer MK II 950w
Corsair Carbide Series 500R
LG 24x burner
Crucial Ballistix 8gb 1600dd3 RAM
I should be checking this a lot tonight. I really want this rig running by tomorrow night for the Diablo 3 release.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate all the help.
