Hi all
Built my first PC round begining of March. All been going well, but lately I've been getting a message on startup "Warning your computer CHIP fan fail or speed too slow".
I asked a friend and I was told not to worry about it. Lately however I've been getting the message more and I've been checking if I could see a problem with any of the fans. If I'm reading the user manual correctly, the fan for the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI, which is in a metal cage with ASUS on it, just below the memory, and above the sata connectors doesn't always spin, it doesn't even move at all sometimes when I turn on the PC, and does only start to spin when i press the power button to turn it off and on again.
Is this something I should be worried about? Is there anything I can do to sort it?
Thanks.
