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.

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...

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

Make sure to run around the house dragging your feet on the carpet for ten minutes first.

If the dissipation plates are rather long, just open the side of the case and point a fan into it.. it'll blow the heat from the plates and all will be fine til you can replace the cpu fan.. Been there a couple times..

Why does everyone on GFY feel the need to be an ass? 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.

get a tech to replace your cpu fan because if you expiriment on it chances are you gona burn your processor and it will affect the other parts of your pc.

Better call a good technician to check what else do you need to replace.
