so i have:
M5A97 R2.0
Cruicial Ballistix Elite 8GB DDR3-1866 (PC3-14900)
AMD Fx 8350 4.0
GTX 580
Corsair Tx650w PSU
W7 64
my problem, first of all this CPU/mobo/ram are brand new as of yesterday, the rest is not:
every time i turn on the system, it stops me and says "CPU fan error press F1 to enter setup" the CPU fan is plugged in properly as far as i can tell, it is also spinning perfectly fine. but every time i have to go into the BIOS because it wont do anything unless i press F1. i'd like some help in figuring out how to fix this if possible. also it may be related but in order to leave the BIOS i then have to go to Boot devices and select my SSD, even though it's listed as the main priority in every place i can find to make it so.
my other problem is with the ram, it is supposed to be 1866, the mobo says it supports 1866, the very first time i turned the system on the ram showed up as 1333, but i saw in the bios a menu to easily change it to 1866 so i did. then randomly later as i was restarting and installing programs i noticed it said the ram was at 1429(i could be wrong on the exact number, but i know it was 14xx) and 1866 was not even in the BIOS menu as an option anymore in the spot that i had found it before. according to the motherboard manual if im using a single stick of Ram it should be installed into the second slot, which it is.
any help with this would be great, thanks
