I am upgrading my PC and installing a new motherboard, CPU and memory.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3
CPU AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core 3.0GHz 2MB L2 Cache
4GB Ram
This is not my first upgrade and i have built computers before with so i do have some idea what i am doing.
I have fitted the Motherboard and connected the leds and power switch. The CPU and cooler and Memory was fitted and supposedly tested by the company i bought them from. My problem is that when i start up the CPU fan does not spin it does a couple of half turns then stops. If you give it a bit longer it does eventually start spinning. But i am sure leaving it like this will damage the CPU so i have not left it any length of time.
I should add that the case fan works with no problem.
Sadly the Coolmaster case does not have a speaker so there is no guide what may be the problem
My instinct tells me the Motherboard or the CPU fan is faulty and as i have just bought it i should return it for a refund. But before i go to the trouble of repacking it and posting it am i missing something?
