which fan stops? what's the psu you are using for this system?

That's normal. It's controlled by heat. If the motherboard decides the CPU is cool enough then it can turn the fan off to keep the system quiet.

Set the fan control to Legacy and PWM in the bios and after a restart the fan should stay on.
