Hi,
After being away for a weekend, I came back to find the PC had shut down. Upon starting up, the BIOS reported that the CPU had overheated and that "one or more fans have failed." After restarting again, the message goes away and it boots into windows, but the fan doesn't work. It spins once when I turn it on, then just stops, but it nudges slightly back and forth now and then. Nothing physically obstructing the fan.
I'd really appreciate some help. A bit lost on finding out where the problem lies (fan, PSU, mobo). Thanks!
Mobo is Intel DG45FC. Setup has been running fine for about 3 yrs now.
