Schtye Ninja Plus Rev b - Crashing system

[qamar]

Setup
Asrock AM2NF4G SATA2 MB
AMD x2 4200

When I install the ninja with fan.. my computer crashes and shuts down instantly.
When i put the retail fan back on it works fine.. no problems.

Can anyone please help me troubleshoot this.

I don't wish to insult you but since I have no background info.. Have you used thermal paste?

Is it causing a short anywhere?

I dont wish to be funny either but it one of these thats casuing it:

a). Fan header not pluggeed in
b). Fan dead
c). You havent attached it correctly.

I didn't think you were being funny, I agree with c most likely.

My vote is for its not seated properly and is shorting the motherboard (pins touching the heatsink and making a circuit to another pin and shorting)

Could be the fan speed is too low for the motherboard to detect, so isn't POSTing. BIOS update maybe?
