Hey, so this s the second time this has happened to me. My computer freezes up and the CPU fan isn't spinning so I have to shut it down. When I turn it on it starts to spin but stops, does about a half rotation or so. I've tried helping it spin by flicking it, removing and putting back in my ram, using air duster to clean any dust out, unplugging and replugging it back into the MOBO, as well as pushing on the 4 screws to make sure they are pushed in all the way. The first time this happened I was playing a game, and the second I was just browsing the web. Both times after doing all of these things and them not working I've eventually just left it alone for a bit with the case open for breathing room to get the CPU temp down and then when I turn it back on about 15 min later it tries to spin a couple times and then starts spinning fully and working again. I'm not sure if its a faulty fan, if the temp is getting too hot and shuts down and that's why it works after I leave it alone and off for a bit (even though every time I've checked my temps with the program "speed fan" they are perfect temps), or if its something else. Any advice/help would be appreciated. My specs are as follows:
Intel i7-4770k 3.5 GHz CPU
16gb Corsair Vengeance Ram
Nvidia Geforce 770 OC edition
2TB Hard Drive
Windows 8.1
Note: The CPU fan is stock and I built the rig myself AND the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan spot on the MOBo
and I have not tried removing the fan itself from the MOBO
