No devices found, CPU fan error, and Windows not loading!!

hey all,

I have been reading a lot of the messsages here on the fourm and nothing really addressed my issues.

First I had the dram red light issue but I fixed it by just pressing the ram module in further, seems like it was lose from the end which doesn't have that holder/clip to keep it in place.

Next I get these three issues:
When I start the pc the first error I see is: "No devices found" and then it switches in an instant to the next screen, not sure on how to fix this. I would really appreicate any help with this. (it seems to pass through fine, but it's annyoying)

Next after the first error comes up and switches to the next screen, it tells me "CPU FAN ERROR" and it just sits there telling me to enter the bios to reset it and fix it (tried holding the rest button for 3 secs but it was of no use, I read somewhere that resets the bios) so I can't get around this either

Third funny issue is that through the bios there is this link which if you click it, you can override the boot and boot from the hard drive that you have yoru OS on, which is the correct on that I set it to boot from. So when I click that, it goes into windows but only until the windows loading screen, after that it just restarts and goes through the entire 3 issues that I brought up.

Not sure on how abouts to approach this.

I would really really appreciate any help with this as it doesn't make much sense, esp cause none of these issues were brought up on this fourn.

just an fyi, i tried the clear cmos button on the back, the tiny red button for the ram, the start, restart button on the MB, removed the battery, tried one ram module at a time. nothing helped gettin rid of those monkey msgs. And I also played around with the fan settings, but nothing helped, even did ignore, but it didnt ignore it.

PC:
AMD Phenom ll x4 365
16gb Gskill ram 1333
Of course the Asus crosshair formula V
Rosewill PSU 850
ATI HD5830 1GB
Around 3TB of HDD split into 3 HD modules
40gb SSD Vertex 2

Please help

Thanks in advance

Fixed the OS issue, scrubbed my hard drive and installed a fresh OS, (for the second time) and now it boots up fine (guess it was just a random fluke). Also had the fan warning issue running a Coolermaster V8. Swapped the fan in the unit for a Thermaltake 120mm 1800 rpm red led fan and the warning message is gone. Plus it adds a nice red glow to accent the Mobo and 16GB of G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600 DDR3 RAM. 🙂 Everything is running great now! Cant wait to do some OC work on it this weekend.
