Are you actually looking at the CPU fan and seeing that it
isn't turning or are you using a monitor program supplied by
MSI or a generic such as Motherboard Monitor?
You can run the computer for a while with the case open and
look at all the fans to be sure they are spinning at fast
speeds. It sounds as though your power connection is OK.
There should be a small two or three wire connection on the
mobo for fan speed monitoring, make sure that you didn't
knock it off the pins on the mobo. The mobo manual should
have a diagram or picture showing all connections.
You might also check the BIOS to make sure that monitoring
of the mobo is enabled.
If the fan was really at zero rpm the CPU would probably fry
itself in a few seconds.
