thats and easy one you need more power...
the hub or what ever isnt supplying enough power but if you want to check if its the usb erupter simply plug it into the hub on its own or a port on the back of the pc

the fan for block erupters is to keep them cool but it isnt a necessity,the block erupter will just get very hot but will be fine u til you can get a 2nd fan. you could also get away with using a male usb to female usb extension cable aslong as its plugged into the motherboard dirctly
