I took my vid card out and put it in another comp, then came home put back in mine, forgot to hook the power up to card so it wouldnt post, then rememberd and it all posted fine...the reason I said all this is because after that the fan on my NF7, connected to the board, wont spin anymore..I doubt theyre related, but what happened? And what can/should I do?

you mean the chipset fan?

I don't know, may be reset BIOS? propably will not help. How about replace with a non-fan solution.

I believe its the chip set fan, its the one one the board factory.., screwed down, but with two white "plungers" on the side...

You'll probably find it works fine withouth the fan. Mine have been running for months without fans, after 2 of my NF7s developed seized fans.

When it eventually dies, don't buy a replacement which uses a cheap fan.
