my pc blue screens after the windows loading screen. also the fan on my cooler stopped working, could this be the cause or could it be caused by the blue screen?
the cooler is a thermalright truespirit 120m (bw)

pc specs
my pc is running 8.1 OEM 64-bit
amd a10 5800k
16gb ram
seagate baracuda 2tb
gigabyte f2a85xm-d3h
be quiet powerzone 650w
xfx 7770 dd

i think my pc has all the latest drivers

i just transferred my pc into a new case and when turned on loads everything as normal until it gets to windows where a blue screen which has a :( flashes then restarts, on the second restart it gets to the same point but gives me the options to restart again or go to advanced options. the advanced optios are to continue to windows 8.1 which restarts the pc , turn off the pc or advanced options which lets me refresh , reset or system restore my pc. i cant perform all the options though as 8.1 says my windows 8 64-bit OEM disk is invalid
 
Solution
first:
-confirm you have the secondary power connections to the motherboard properly connected
and the secondary power connections to the graphics card connected.

if not connected, the system will work until the graphics card is enabled by windows, then the card will pull too much power from the PCI bus and the system will shutdown to prevent the bus from melting and catching fire.

the second issue (disk invalid) sounds like a BIOS setting caused by the setting for the SATA controller IDE or AHCI setting (just a quick stab at the problem) if you have not figured it out yet you can post the bugcheck code
