If you mean the huge fan that'd on CPU, yeah. I try seeing if it's in place and isn't detach. Sorry, I am still learning new things since this is my first build. I didn't try removing it, because I know one of the pins is bend a little from when I put the pc together.

I was assuming it was ok. The error I got during boot was this "CPU over temperature error"

Well just because your CPU was at 44C at that point, doesn't mean it always is, it might have actually been overheating at the time of the error. Try M0j0's suggestion first, then maybe download HWmonitor and check what the highest temp your CPU goes to is when running something like a CPU intensive game, or prime95

I did mojojojo suggestion and found that The Temperature of my CPU is 56* C(133*F) and I found two Viruses.
