    Help! CPU fan isn't running.

    so my cd burner program freezes up on me and when i come back upstairs i find my computer says CPU fan is not running. shut down? y/n

    how do i tell if it is running? i know the power supply fan is running but im guessing the CPU one is different?

    any help is appreciated, i don't want to fuck my computer.

      Turn it OFFFF!

      Your CPU will burn up. You need to replace the CPU fan immediately or get someone to do it for you.

      (make sure the CPU fan is plugged in... it IS a different one.)

          You have to open to case to see if it's running, it's hard to miss it.

                  get a new one fast, and DONT run the PC until you do.

                          Take a look or put your finger on the CPU fan while powered on ... You will feel it if its running....

                          I had that a few years ago during Xmas time, when my servers were actually in my place. No shop opened for spare parts, so I took ther cover off and shoved in a Bionaire air filter IN the computer ... Worked till I got a new fan...
                          I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                          But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                      If it's a Pentium and not AMD, it's ok. Wanna play Doom 3?

                                      Trust the "WOW" effect.

                                          thanks guys. it is AMD actually but its off now. does it smell like its burning if its too hot? i don't mess around inside my computer very often so do you know where inside i can find it? and is it easy to replace? i've put pci cards and such in myself but thats about it.

Been there a couple times..

I assume it's because they got swishies one too many times in high school or something like that. Who cares if the dude knows how to change a fan or not? Just because someone is a webmaster doesn't mean that they know hardware.
