This is the first power up of a Frankenstein system (built from old and new parts). Power on, lights on, fans spool up, about the time loading screen appears on monitor ("press this for bios" "press that for diagnostics" etc.) the cpu fan stops, screen goes black with message "CPU fan failure! The system will power down in a few seconds to save your cpu". And it shuts down before I have a chance to do anything else.
I have disconnected and reconnected everything, didn't help; unplugged keyboard, mouse, audio out, and drives... no luck. Removed #1 RAM stick (per a thread on similar problem), fan now continues running, no shutdown, but nothing appears on screen.
No error beeps at any time.
