    Hey guys just wondering if you could help me. i have MCP61PM-HM motherboard running a 3500 athlon 64 processor. today i tried to change the fan in it only to when i started the computer i get an error saying cpu fan not working. shutting down to prevent cpu failure. at 1st i thought it was the new fan so i put the old 1 in and noe it does the same thing. i will point out the fans are working fine and now i go into bios and check fan speed it says 0 rpm but i am looking at it and its spinning normally. wondering if any1 here could shed some light please. ty in advandce for any help.

    Some fans are not designed with a speed sensor - your fan should have at least three wires -two for the power connections and one for the speed sensor.

    If there is no speed sensor the motherboard has no way of reading the fan is running . . . and as a safety measure shuts down.

    You said the original fan does the same thing when it was reinstalled - what was the issue that prompted you to replace it to begin with?
