Replace the fan; that's the simple part. But before that make sure the cooling system pump is working.
If the pump has also failed then the whole system needs to be RMA'd under warranty, or replaced.
The PC manufacture should fix that for you, or the maker of the cooling system if it was Not a pre-built system.

Redownloading might be the easiest thing to do, even as difficult as that can become. If the PC is still under Neweggs return policy, then I would contact them (by phone preferably) and see what they can do for you. You can also contact the manufacture (Who or what brand is it?) and see if they will work with you.
If the cooling system is a name brand, you might even use their warranty service (Corsair, Coolermaster, Asetek - my spelling might be wrong - etc.).
To see if the pump is actually working will require turning on the PC briefly.
Easiest method: open the case and note what power header your cooling pump or system is attached to. Usually the pump is attached to CHA_FAN header. Turn on the PC and go into the BIOS/UEFI (check manual to find out what key to push at start up), open the Monitoring tab or Hardware tab and make certain the CHA_FAN header you noted is showing some RPM. If it is not, then the pump is not running.
You can also try turning on the PC and touching the pump housing on the CPU to see if you feel any 'vibration' or movement, or try listening to it.
If your machine is under warranty, I really think you should try to get this fixed through that warranty.

Yeah I checked yesterday and sadly they are currently out of stock on the computer I bought it was prebuilt and I felt the pump it was vibrating a little bit
once it's back in stock I'll probably use the warranty

O.k. Let us know what happens. In the meantime put a fan on the radiator for cooling; could even put a similar sized case fan on it and plug it into a Molex connector from the PSU and just let it run full speed. Little noisy, but it should work until you can warranty out the unit. {If you do that, be sure to put the broken fan back on before shipping}.

i did eventually fix my overheating problem by replacing the thermal paste and adding a new fan and sadly i have an even worse problem. *sigh* long story short all my games are crashing typically after loading screens but not always and have experienced blue screens, audio cutting, a constant scratch noise in my audio that wont go away until i close the game or it after its finished crashing it began happening with all my games with no error message or warning and often my screen turns strange colors... also newegg quit restocking the computer i bought and can no longer use my warranty unless someone explains how i could

For warranty, now, you will have to contact the manufacture of the PC. Most have at least a year warranty and there should have been a manual with that information with your PC. With all the problems you are now having, this is what I would do: You could, literally, spend months trying to get all the issues tracked down and fixed and Still have problems and be out of warranty.
Call the manufacture get an RMA. The problems you describe could be caused by any or all of the following: failing video card, failing PSU, damaged or failing motherboard, or damaged or failing CPU. Let the manufacture figure it out.
Good luck. I will follow your new thread also.
