Ok so my CPU fan seems to be randomly dying now. I have to turn my PC off when I go out as I have no idea whether it'll stop or not. If the fan was the issue would it keep dying randomly? If I leave my PC off for a while it works fine again. If I turn the PC back on after the fan has died it dies again after a few minutes. I don't have any games installed so I'm not exactly pushing my PC. It happens at random times like 8pm or so, or 3am when I'm sleeping. So does it sound like a dodgy fan or possibly something else? Oh, its a stock A64 fan.
 
As far as I know the BIOS is fine. Never tweaked anything in there. I think I might see if I can connect the CPU fan to another connection on my board to see if its that. I don't really fancy splashing out on a new cooler if theres a bigger issue to be fixed.
 
Right then. I got a Freezer64, much cooler now. Everything was going fine till last night. At about 2am my PC started making beeping noises. The fan speed had dropped 50%. Then about 5 mins later the fan died and Speedfan said it was doing 0rpm. So its not the fan causing the problem. Great.
 
Ok the last time it died I got some screenshots of Speedfan showing the volts and stuff. Any idea if this looks right/wrong?
