If cleaning the Fan and Heatsink didn't work, I believe that this is related to a Fan failure. The Fan may not work properly which requires replacement with a brand new one. Based on my research, your Asus M4A78-EM 1394 motherboard uses an AMD Processor. You can buy AMD compatible CPU fans at Amazon for $10 to $20. Here's the link to the list of products.

Please make sure you have it connected properly or that you have it connected to CPU Fan 1 as their may be other fan connectors.

Please make sure it you are using a 4 pin connector on the fan that you have the 4th pin unused and not the 1st pin unused.
