Hi, just recieved a new computer today, when i switch it on i get a message saying cpu fan error, then after a short time the computer shuts down. Any help be appreciated as i cant install windows xp on it. Thanks Intel Pentium D 5.3GHZ (DUAL CORE 2.66) 1G 3200 RAM
Do you have a manual for the mother board?? Sounds like someone forgot to plug in the fan or you didnt say if the fan was working on the microprocessor or not?? If its not working then the plug for the fan should be right by the socket fore the processor. If it is working then theres a setting in the bios that has to be reset. I would take the board to or ask the person you bought it from about it. Did you buy the board with a case or all pieces separate? Good Luck
