Well, title says it all really. Today, I was busying away in LotRO when I was hit by a massive decrease in FPS, literally down to 4-5 from an average of 70-80. I quickly log out and fire up my mobo monitoring program. CPU fan displays no RPMs and the temp is increasing steadily upto a point of around 80 degrees 
eek:!) ... Pop open the case and the CPU fan has stopped spinning. I gave it a quick tap and it starts up again, not ideal but it'll do for now.
I've noticed that if I leave desktop running, the fan will stop and temps will idle away at 30 degrees. But apart from that, it seems to intermittently stop when I really don't want it to - IE, gaming. So, a problem with the fan or with the mobo? I'm not really sure.
