I have booted into my UEFI Bios for the first time and have been greeted with Cpu over temperature error press F1 to load bios.

Doe's someone know about this error? I'm reluctent to install the OS at this stage.

I have a Asus Z97-A Mobo and a Corsair H80i cooler.

The fans on the radiator are spinning and the corsair light on the pump is on.

Google it. If you own a performance PC these are things the user needs to learn. There will be a corsair video showing you how to install/remove your cooler.

If you are truly uncomfortable doing it then contact the person who built it, because it sounds like they have made a mistake during the mounting process.

I think I will have the shop who built it look at it. I don't want to be held accountable for messing something up. I was hoping someone here might really know what is causing this error..

My assessment is the cooler has not been mounted properly and your CPU is overheating.

If this is a new PC bought from somewhere you definitely should be in contact with them.

You could learn how your PC works, if you are unwilling or unable due to time I would recommend that you have it serviced once a year by a professional, just like you would a car.
