Dear Steve, Normally if there is no fan then the CPU will stop automatically to avoid any major damage. It seems that you need to check the FAN connection to the Mother board first. If the connection is fine then please change the FAN which should cost $1 in some cases except if you have higher specs.
You sent no specs list so I assume it's normal CPU not slot or/and server, anyhow please note that you need to power off the complete computer and take all connections out when you dealing with MB. On the other hand if you r not expert then please avoid any touch with the mother board directly by your own hands. Take the fan out and buy a new one, you can get it for free if you they have an old computer. Please note that some cases doesn't have enough air and you need to provide good fan system to avoid heat. The best choice is to go for the technical people to avoid any damage. But it's very easy to change the FAN and it shouldn't cost that much.
