What to do if CPU fan is not spinning? Solving problem that processor heatsink is not spinning
What should I do if my computer's CPU fan is not spinning? Recently, some users have reported that when using a desktop computer, fan suddenly stops working, what's wrong? How to solve problem that the desktop computer's CPU fan is not spinning? See details below.
Solution:
Method 1: CPU fan power failure. Under normal circumstances, CPU fan is powered by motherboard, and power supply interface is on fan cable. If you find that cable is loose, you can try reconnecting it and pushing it firmly into interface. If CPU fan returns to normal, issue is resolved. If CPU fan still won't turn on, try plugging power cable into another identical power interface. If fan works, it means that dedicated power interface for CPU fan is broken, but effect is minor (only BIOS can't tell if CPU fan is running). ).
Method 2: The CPU fan is clogged with dust. If desktop is used for a long time without cleaning it, it will cause dust to accumulate on CPU fan and block operation of fan blades. Remove CPU fan, clean it with a brush, and apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to fan shaft to reduce resistance.
Method 3: The CPU fan itself is defective. If above reasons are excluded, it is likely that CPU fan has burned out and cannot work. At this point, you need to buy appropriate CPU fan and reinstall it.
