<div class="IPBDescription">CPU Fan Error Press F1 to resume</div> Argh, started my PC this mornign to get this error:

CPU Fan Error Press F1 to resume

The PC is running at 40 degrees CPU, and 35 degrees motherboard.

The Motherboard is a ASUS K8V SE
AMD Athlon 64bit 3200+

Its not overclocked and Iv not changed any bios settings at all.

Any ideas?

    I bet that the fan is broken. Or unplugged. Probably unplugged.

    Open it up and take a look. Maybe the CPU fan connection on your motherboard has gone a bit wonky?

    You haven't installed a new heatsink, have you? My Zalman flower makes my Asus A8V give me that error because the CPU fan connection goes into a wee box that controls the heatsink fan speed, before connecting to the motherboard.

    Oh, no, you haven't. Open it.

    Ok, I should have mentiond that the fan is still spining, it even looks like its spinning just as fast it usualy did. The heatsink has been on the CPU since i got it in September.

    Everything is still within its 1 year warenty so Im gonna take it down to the shop (5mins away on foot) and let em sort it out since there relibablem, unless i can get it working :-p

    Thats the thing, I havent touched it, I switched it off like usual last night, and powered it up in the morning as usual. How could the heatsink fall off all by istelf!.

    But ill check it anyway.
