Hello everyone,
My friend has recently purchased a new CPU/motherboard. I've built a few rigs, so I set it up for him. In his previous build, he had an AMD FX-8320, cooled by a Hyper 212 EVO. We're now using an ASUS Z87-A (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131981), and an i5 4670K.
Everything works fine, except, we got 'CPU fan error', and the fan does not spin. I tried plugging the CPU fan into a case fan 4pin, but this didn't solve the issue. The fan 'stutters' (it starts to spin but then stops dead in it's tracks), and it isn't being blocked by anything.
Is the fan dead? It was working before (literally 2 hours before I started building the PC).
