I have just assembled my new rig

At first boots up it shows me a startup screen saying
- CPU fan error
Press F1 to run setup

After pressing F1, I am getting a black screen(has a flashing place to type for like a second) after that i am getting BIOS screen and same time my fan is running at full speed.
My configuration as follow

AMD FX8150
ASUS M5A97 MOB
ZOTEC GTX570
WD 1TB HDD
G.SKILL 16GB RAM
COOLERMASTER 431 ELITE
COOLERMASTER 700W
SAMSUNG 22" LED MONITOR

There is probably something you might have done wrong while fitting the fan. Try re-fitting it properly. are all connections to the fan and screws proper?

In which 4 pin connector did you connect CPU cooler?

Check connection. There are System Fan headers also. Make sure no Pins are bent etc.

Forgot to mention in the previous post. CPU cooler should go to the lone System Fan Header present in M5A97.
