At the moment with the current fan i have on the processor the computer is constantly turning off at random occasions.

The fan is just a standard intel one that is INCREDIBLY loud and doesn't seem to be doing it's job properly.

The processor / fan area is completely free of dust at it just seems to be constantly overheating.

I was wondering, as i am not too knowledgable at this side of things, what fan i should go for which is quiet and does the best job for a reasonable price.

Please could someone point me in the correct direction (I am based in the UK)

Thankyou.

Which processor do you have?
If it's socket 775 (some P4s, any Pentium D/dual core or Core 2 Duo/Quad) then I recommend this:
