So yesterday I opened up my pc to clean out the dust filters and whatnot, and one of the fans on the rad somehow had its blade get loose and spin at an angle so it got jammed in the pc frame.

I took it apart, threw an extra spart sp fan in its place and when I tried firing it up it gave me a cpu fan error message and sent me to the BIOS. Now the waterblock led wont turn on, both fans will only work on the fan connecters attached to the block if they are plugged into specific ones or one fan wont even spin at all, and they are being loud. The only way I was even able to get my pc to start again was by going in the BIOS and setting it to ignore the water cooler and fan readings which obviously isnt a real fix.

I should still have a warranty but I bought it at Fry's and not sure if I kept the receipt. any advice or anything would be cool, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Start fresh

    ■ Unplug all powered components, remove (if any) graphic card, SATA HDD, all except CPU cooler/radiator fan, remove the motherboard's battery, hold case's power button for 5 sec. Wait for 15 minute to wipe CMOS data.
    ■ Re-instate battery, plug 24 pin ATX, 4+4 or 8 pin EPS, turn on, if you get POST quickly enter BIOS, set time and date and load default/optimal value, save and exit.
