1. Try to keep a cool head, although it's not easy 2. can you rotate the fan with your hand (to see whether it's actually capable of rotating). If not - get a new fan, if yes - check the wiring to the motherboard - the connection might be loose. 3. Which fan of all possible case fans is that anyway ? 4. Some sad anti virus you got there if ccleaner recognized it as trash . I'd suggest you use Avira, Avast or AVG - all of them have freeware versions for home use. 5. Reinstalling windows should be a habit and done at least once a year. So, if you haven't reinstalled it lately, do that. 6. You can check the temps in BIOS. that's more reliable. 7. is your pc a desktop or a laptop? a whole load of unordered questions, but those need answers so we can see where we are.
That's true. Therefore we continue with the other thread: http://www.hardwareforums.com/p-c-problem-26778/
