hello everyone so about a month ago a posted what i wanted to do for my first computer i didn't get much response which is fine. but now i have collected all of my parts and started to build the computer. so i have the computer complete and put together but i have 3 issues, first my Bios is stating that i have a CPU fan Error. the second is that my M.2 drive isn't being detected, and thirdly i have a normal SSD with windows installed but it wont launch into windows. i assume due to the fan error its preventing me from fully launching but i'm very unfamiliar.

 

There could be something wrong with the cooler. It could have a broken pump or maybe you're just not occupying the CPU_fan1 header. If there's nothing in that header, windows will do this as a safe guard to prevent overheating. It's there to stop the system if your CPU fan dies.

The CPU fan error you are having is due to having an AIO cooler, you can set in the bios to ignore the error. (This is not something that will effect functionality).

The reason your SSD is not booting Windows may be the wrong setting bios. Check the manual for exact instructions but you need to change your sata settings to ACHI.
