The CPU fan is located on your CPU. Look for a fan or heatsink on your motherboard and see if there are any loose wires unplugged. Plug everything in and see if it works normally.

Without your CPU fan, your processor will fry. Fans are cheap (maybe $5-10) and you need one that works.

turn the machine off and leave it off....pull the old fan off and bring it with you to a computer supply store get them to match the fan up for you..
