I got an old P4 generic PC, I want to make a good use of it as a file server. When I opened the case I discovered that the CPU Fan plastic base is broke so it isn't fully attached to the motherboard, so I leaned the case down so the fan could stay in its right position, but when I turn the PC on after few seconds it freezes and I have to manually restart it. The fan is working, could this be the real reason of the freeze or should I drop it? Thanks!
<tongue in cheek>If the fan is broken, shouldn't it be burning up instead of freezing?</tongue in cheek> (sorry... I couldn't resist) – Nathan Fellman – 2010-03-03T08:13:27.683
