first off the power cords should be the same if it fits it should work
second what is the pc doing is it shutting down do to heat or what
and newegg is about the best place for anything computer related but if the psu fan isnt working ull have to buy new psu but if the cpu fan isnt working i would think that the pc would turn itself off due to heat but like i said what are the symptoms or do they just not hear fans

but if u dont like newegg just google for power supplies and cpu fans
