Is the fan dirty?
Did the connection get knocked loose? (Don't ask, it can happen.
)

That's what I do. Maybe there's too much dust, or maybe there's something stuck in the fan's axle, like hair, dust, dirt, or string.
If not, then it's either not connected, or broken.Originally posted by S121sigpicComment

I doubt a dirty fan would stop it lol. Also, why do you only have one fan :< that's terrible for multiple reasons, the first being... Well if it dies you're fucked. (In comparison I have one cpu heatsink, gpu heatsink and four fans

mk well i'm gonna buy an 8 dollar can of compressed air and clean it out. if that doesn't work i'll probably have to take it in for matinance which would cost more like 100 dollars.
edit: Remi i have 3 fans i said i could only see one from the outside of the case Comment

You can just buy a replacement fan which is pretty cheap.

Case fans generally suck to begin with. As long as the two internal fans are working there's really nothing to worry about. Just make sure your computer is situated in a well ventilated area.Comment

Cleaning out the fan worked, it started spinning again. you would be surprised how much dust was on there despite the fact that i clean it off daily... Comment
