well you probably turned on a protection feature of some sort about the fan...
AMD motherboards are notorious for not reading the fan RPM's... i forget exactly why, but it is a "bug" in AMD systems.
most, that is MOST BIOS have an option of "reset to default" or somehthing similarlly named. unless you have some overclocking, or other special setting, i'd recommend doing that, saving, and seeing how the PC performs.

Thanks 73 for the input will try the default.
