Problem with build?

Hey guys, I recently finished a computer build, but something strange is happening. About half the time I boot the computer, the CPU fan won't spin, and the bios will say CPU Fan Error. Sometimes, if I then enter the bios, the fan will start up, and when I exit, windows will start. Other times, nothing will happen when I enter the bios.

Anyone know what the problem might be?
