CPU Over Temperature Error/ graphic card fan not spinning

[Help Plz]

Hello.

 

I'm getting this CPU Over Temperature Error after getting my pc back from the computer technicians. I'm a fish out of water when it comes to these sort of things which is why i took it to a professional to rebuild it instead of trying to do it myself.. i'm getting this error and in the asus uefi bios it's showing a cpu temp of +90. after some research i read that this error generally comes up when not applying any or enough thermal paste to the cpu (disappointing to pay for such a rookie mistake). once i opened the case and run it i noticed the graphics card fans not spinning and i'm wondering if this is normal? i've read that this isn't that big of a deal as it needs to (when over heating) but this doesn't sound right to me, i expect it to instantly run... ( the model is strix-gtx970-dc2oc-4gd5 if this helps)

 

Thank you

is the CPU cooler fan spinning? 

[Help Plz]

yes. that's spinning. the only fan that's not running is the graphics card fan. after some research I think the error is a thermal paste issue but the fact that the graphics card fan isn't running is weird to me

GPU fans not spinning wont hurt the CPU temps.

i'm a complete rookie with this sort of thing. should i take it apart to check if it's a thermal paste issue and try and fix it myself or just hand it back to the guy that messed up (who i over paid). it's quite a drive

 

what would you recommend. hopefully i haven't already fried it...
