Problem with new build

[Nigel]

Just finished my first build but i have a problem with the fan .It is an
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 .

the fan starts but then it stops I have checked the wiring but can't see any
problem. I have tried with an other fan and that one works fine. So I know
it is the fan.

Any body got any idea how I can solve it?

Thanks

Silly question, but does it stay stopped if you leave things running for a
bit?
Could be that the CPU isn't getting hot enough for the fan to come on and
stay on.
What are the CPU fan control settings on the mobo?

Yes that what I thought so I changed the bios settings to spin all the time.

I have checked the cable and can see no damage the plug looks OK . I tried a
different fan and that spins alll the time so the motherboard is fine.

Its strange because it will start spinning then after about 30 secs stop and
it will not start again. i switch off the computere wait a while switch it
back on and it satrts again. Very strange!!!
