Depending on the manufacture the positions are not necessarily universal either. He could have put them into an A and B slot instead of matching it up A & A.

CPU fan could also be screwed in too tightly or lose, probably best to re set it

If its a CPU error, I bet the cpu power (the one closest to the cpu socket) came loose.
