i have a 1100 megahertz AMD Athlon processor running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) that i inherited. the thermaltake fan didnt spin we i received it so it would constantly overheat. i then replaced the fan but it still did not spin on boot-up.
here is what is tricky. if i give the fan a little nudge it will begin to spin and the computer runs just fine. on boot-up i notice the fan trying to spin up but it seems that it lacks the power to spin, it just sits there and twitches. i updated the bios thinking that might be the problem but that didnt fix the problem.
does anyone know how i might solve this problem?
