| 875466 | 2010-04-12 02:57:00 | This computer's CPU Heatsink cooling fan only spins for a couple of seconds after turning ON the PC and it stops. It works OK though. I left it run for about 30 min and it's still OK - doesn't shut down by itself. After turning it off, the heatsink is still 'cool' to touch. I don't think that the fan itself is faulty as it spins for a few second when turning ON. Unfortunately, don't have a spare one to try at the moment. What do you suggest? |

| 875467 | 2010-04-12 02:59:00 | If it stops at all replace it. What is it? Socket 478, socket 775, or AMD? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 875469 | 2010-04-12 03:28:00 | some fans only go when a certain temp is reached by the cpu (controlled by BIOS or tuning tools for the motherboard) | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 875470 | 2010-04-12 03:43:00 | Just checked with PCWizard that the Processor Temp is only 6 deg., mainboard is 33 deg. Could this be true? Or the MB is not working properly? It's an Elite MB NFORCE 4M-A ver 3.0 |

| 875471 | 2010-04-12 03:52:00 | 6 degrees? no way that is right. Just wondering what cpu do you have? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 875472 | 2010-04-12 03:56:00 | 6 degrees? no way that is right. Just wondering what cpu do you have? It's a AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 3600+, 1.91 GHz Temperature has risen to 21 deg. core#1: 30.8 Core#2: 27 deg |

| 875473 | 2010-04-12 04:19:00 | hmm strange. What are you using to read the temps? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 875474 | 2010-04-12 04:22:00 | Post 5 - PCWizard. Whats the BIOS say then? Could be a sensor on the mobo. It maybe dead / or knackered. It does happen | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 875475 | 2010-04-12 04:30:00 | oops, saw that but have never used it so did not know it shows temperatures. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
