New computer: Heatsink/fan will not spin up?

[Boundless]

Just assembled a simple computer that's going to act as a server. Specs are:

Midtower - 300watt powersupply
Abit KT7e
AMD Duron 900MHz
2x 256 Crucial PC133 2-2-2 SDRAM
IBM 20GB, ATA/100, 7200rpm ( 60GXP )
Sony 52x cdrom
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 agp
3Com NIC /w wake on LAN
Teac 1.5" floppy
Arctic Silver II
The heatsink/fan is a CoolerMaster DP5-6H51

I've tried plugging it in Fan1, Fan2, and Fan3. It gives a quick rotate, then stops...I had the cover on the side so I couldn't see the fan at first...but then I smart'nd up a bit and decided to take a look and see if everything was working. I checked the temp monitor and it said the chip was around 44C. I thought that a bit hot for a Duron 850...

Does anyone have some advice to throw at my situation...would be much appreciated. I really hope there's some kind of error as I don't feel like driving and replacing the fan...or at worst - the motherboard?

** Oh, and it the first post was a success...read the HD and CDROM...I went into the bios and set some things up..like Cas latency for the RAM and boot sequence to CDROM so I can install an OS.

Sorry, that's a Duron 850...not a 900MHz. Thinking of the other Pentium III in the other room.

The fan is prolly dead.

The fan may not be getting enough current to start itself. Try giving it a push, but in the end, get a new fan.

Try pluggin the fan using the PSU 4-pin plug. If it still not moving...it won't move anymore.

The KT7e has a low RPM and high cpu tem protection built in the bios. The CPU fan has to be plugged to the Fan1 or Fan 2 header. Check the settings in the bios to make sure they are not set too low which keeps on shutting down the system. You can try disabling the low RPM shutdown but not the high cpu temp to find out if the fan is prolly or not. On the HSF make sure you replace the TIM pad with thermal paste like AS or even regular silicone one.
