As per this thread, I was having some issues trying to get a GPU to work. In an attempt to resolve that I tried updating my massively outdated BIOS. Not only did it not resolve the issue, it raised another, somewhat worse issue which is why I am now posting here rather than the GPU section.
Unfortunately since updating my BIOS to the latest version I have been getting "CPU Fan Error - Press F1 to setup" and the fans on my radiator (Corsair Hydro H80 [Not the H80i - The crappy old version]) sound as if they are spinning up to 100%, spinning down, back to 100% and so on. In the BIOS the CPU fan speed keeps changing from 5500RPM to N/A every few seconds and the lights on the CPU pump flash on when it goes to 5500RPM then turn off again when it goes back to N/A.
I'm not sure that it is relevant, but the computer does POST and then a few seconds later the error screen occurs and it is accompanied by a beep of 1 long, 4 short.
I have attempted to reset the pump by holding down the button on the pump while booting the computer, but that didn't help. In the BIOS fan control settings I have reduced the lowest RPM limit from 600 to 500/400/300/200/100. I have also set that to "ignore" which allowed me to boot into Windows, but the fans remained at max speed which sounds like a jet engine.
It's also worth noting that the CPU is not overheating at all and is hovering around 25'c idle.
According to some threads I found on the issue it is common in a pump that has developed a fault, but that seems highly unlikely as it was working perfectly before the BIOS update.
My motherboard: http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/P8Z68V/

CPU is Intel i5 2500k.
Sorry for the wall of text, but when asking for help it's good to give too much detail rather than too little.
