It's been some time now that my GPU fan gets stuck somehow and doesn't spin when turning on. If I turn the computer off and spin it myself manually just a little then it'll go just normal. It's like there's some kind of friction that it can't win by itself.
I already cleaned the dust out of the fan and heatsink. It still gets stuck. My guess is something somehow managed to get in that junction of the helix and the fan's base. Is it safe to remove the helix to take a look? Is it even possible to? I really don't know and the whole thing looks really frail so I haven't tried.
Btw, it's a Radeon HD 6500 and thanks in advance.
