Help! CPU fan isn't running. - GoFuckYourself.com

BlackCrayon · 11-27-2005, 05:08 PM

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.)

Jarmusch · 11-27-2005, 05:09 PM

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

Thumbking · 11-27-2005, 05:11 PM

yeah, dude, your gonna burn out the cpu....

just open the case and see if its running... if not go and buy a new one...

pornguy · 11-27-2005, 05:12 PM

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

tony286 · 11-27-2005, 05:14 PM

A very bad shut it down now

directfiesta · 11-27-2005, 05:17 PM

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...

lol turn it off, look inside your case. Pry need a new fan

xfalmp · 11-27-2005, 05:22 PM

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

BlackCrayon · 11-27-2005, 05:29 PM

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.

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

Morgan · 11-27-2005, 05:38 PM

quick, throw a glass or two of water inside your pc asap to cool it off.

make sure you fix it in the tub

SmokeyTheBear · 11-27-2005, 06:44 PM

haha if your cpu fan isnt running you likely wont be able to read this post because your cpu has melted into a puddle.

SmokeyTheBear · 11-27-2005, 06:45 PM

as advised turn it off ASAP like now

mastgul · 11-27-2005, 06:48 PM

the fan is right on top of the proccessor thats the and is easily locatable. check the wire of the CPU fan is plugged in to the motherboard. if not replace the fan immediately or u r doomed...

wedouglas · 11-27-2005, 06:51 PM

turn it off !!!

Scootermuze · 11-27-2005, 08:03 PM

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..

CC · 11-27-2005, 08:38 PM

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.

BlackCrayon · 11-27-2005, 08:39 PM

im just using my old pc for now. hope i didn't fuck anything up. it still worked fine when i shut it down. it ran for maybe 15 minutes i guess.

elitetec · 11-27-2005, 09:00 PM

happen to me just buy a new fan

Violetta · 11-27-2005, 09:06 PM

Just open it while its on and see if the fans are not running... Its not worse than that!

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.

Spunky · 11-27-2005, 09:23 PM

My cat could replace a fan..it is very simple really

You mean you don't have the side cover off of it already? I have 3 runnin and don't even know where the covers are..

reed_4 · 11-28-2005, 12:43 AM

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