My computer now shuts itself off due to my cpu fan failing. I've opened up my tower and cannot find the model number of the Cooler Master inside, should I need to replace it. The fan will move for a few seconds when the tower is turned on, but then shut down, to prevent further damage. I've tried cleaning it and noticed the fan doesn't turn very freely. Is there a way to take the fan propeller (If you will) off and check/clean underneath it. What exactly do I need to look for in replacing the fan if this is not possible? I have a Compaq SR5233WM. Sorry if I haven't listed enough info on the tower itself. This happened after a power outage.

You need a LGA 775 CPU cooler and some thermal grease...preferably Arctic Silver 5.

You can disassemble some fans, but it is a delicate operation, and repairs are usually not long lasting. Probably not worth the bother for a Cooler Master fan.
