I recently reinstalled xp on my asus P5S800-VM/S mother board and now when i start it up i get an error message saying cpu fan error, i never had this problem before so im guessing its a river problem or somehing please help
Frist check fan is CPU fan is properly connected, if it is working then put HEAT SINK COMPOUND ON cpu then restart and restore default bios setting, if still problem then check your fan you have install is not compatible for your motherboard
Well if the FAN does NOT spin when plugged into to correct spot in the MB that May NOT be the correct spot, of the spot in your MB is damaged or the BIOS is not set or telling the fan to come correctly
As a work around try connecting the fan to the spot that you tested it from and letting it run, see if the message appears again. Let me know how this works.
Refer to the images below. From the MB manual page 38 (page number are Acrobat Page numbers) verify those connections
Check BIOS setting (page 64) for Advanced CPU 
Also Check the settings of the FAN voltages compared to YOUR fan using Hadeware Monitor in the BIOS
if you do not have the Manual refer to:

Looked at the website I understand the device your describing. If that works for GREAT!!!!! If any other problems arrise, do not hesitate to post. Have a good day!
It may make a diff. But the functionality is the same. The BIOS and controll sets function identically. /S probably indicates more features on the Board itself and inturn will have more BIOS features to controll those additional features.
N/P glad to have helped (if I did) and IF NOT, It was a pleasure....

Make sure the cpu fan is plugged in and to the cpu fan connector on the motherboard.

i never unpluged the fan from the mother board so its not like ive plugged it in the wrong place . i get the error message before windows has finished starting up and ive taken the side off my pc and watched the fan it looks like it wants to spin but doesnt ive taken the fan off the heatsink and made sure its clean and spins freely it does ive even plugged it into the cha fan port and it spins fine
ive had a look on the mb and its got cpu fan printed on the mb next to where it plugs in. i dont know much when it comes to computors so i dont know how to tell the bios to get the fan to come on ?
ive tried to plug the cpu fan into the cha fan port but the wire isnt long enouph. a friend gave me a switch i dont know what it is but i will try my best to describe it to you its a three way switch that has got www.thermaltake.com stamped on it. the switch positions say M,L,H it doesnt conect to the motherboard like a grafix card,usb card ect but it locks into the back of the computer like them. its got two sets of red and black wires coming off it ,one red and one black to each set. at the end of one of the sets of wires its got a plug that connects to a red, black and yellow plug its the same plug as what powers the hard drive and dvd drives and at the end of the other set of red and black wires coming off the switch its got a white plug with a yellow wire coming out of it if i plug the cpu fan into this white plug and connect the yellow wire to the mother board where the cpu fan goes the pc will start as normal without the error message. sorry for confusing you
i was just reading the manual that this shortcut leads tohttp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock... and i noticed that the mother board its displaying has got two cha fans on it and mine has only got one.then i noticed that its for model number P5S800-VM mines the same but with an S at the end will that make any difference
thank you verry much for your time 20YrsCompExp
well the motherboard monitors the CPU is the message appearing before windows loads or after the windows loads?
