Water leak detected

[blankammo]

Hello!

I have been using ASUS ROG Crosshair IV extreme for past 4-5years.

Today, when booting my computer, the following message pops up and I can't boot.

WARNING! Water leak detected.
For system safety, the system will shut down in 5 seconds.

But I've never used any water cooling unit.

How can fix this error?

Hello, @blankammo .

May I ask if this prompt occurred after any changes were made? For example, updating the BIOS or replacing the fan
After encountering the prompt message, does the system automatically shut down and become unable to boot again?
Please confirm if the CPU_FAN connector on the motherboard is loose.

Thank you.
