Quote:That small fan atop the motherboard's onboard chip does not spin. I manually twirled it around (with the power off) and unplugged it and replugged it back into its power source, but it does not spin. I guess that is the problem. So now I need to practically rebuild my computer by removing and replacing the motherboard. Oh well...You might be able to find a replacement. Do you think heat stress has made the component fail? But, it would definitely explain some of the flakiness.
