Open the case and make sure all of the fans are working properly and check to see if any plugs are loose

It depends on what fan is plugged in where. If its wired correctly it should be one of the case fans.

well, not knowing what error message it gives, makes it hard to know what to diagnose.

As Sneakycyber said...a case fan. That's any fan that is not on the CPU/heatsink and is not in the power supply.
Can be any number from none to whatever, depending on imagination and connections. It will connect to the motherboard via one of the white molex connectors (3/4-pin), can be either front/bottom or upper/lower back of case. Louis |
