I turned my computer on this morning and after a few minutes it rebooted itself. After checking th Asus probe I notice my cpu temp was in the 60's and still climbing, this was obviously shutting down the computer.
I opened up the case and noticed the cpu fan was not spinning at all so I disconnected the wire and plugged a spare one in and that didn't spin either.
To solve the problem I unplugged my rear case fan and plugged the cpu fan into it and now it's working fine, apart from the lack of a rear case fan.
It's now running cooler than it has been for the last couple of weeks.
What would cause the motherboards cpu fan power supply to suddenly stop working?
I doesn't have any moving parts, it just sits there supplying. Or not, in this case

Overclocking suspended until cooling problem sorted.
Reverted back to XP2500 and 1.65 vcore settings.

Coolermaster fan. Nothing fancy but rated up to XP3200.
I e-mailed my local store yesterday and explained what had happened. They told me to bring it back and they would exchange it straight away.
I do spend about £300 a month there on computer bits so I thought they'd be eager to please me.
I suppose I,ll have to re-install XP and all my programs again now. Sigh!!
Wish I'd figured out how to use Norton Ghost.

New motherboard fitted and overclocked. Back to normal.
Built another computer while I was at it.
What a day....!
