Hi, a friend of mine ordered parts to build a pc and asked me round to build it today, build went fine, booted ok and managed to get windows installed. After about 30 mins the computer got slow like e.g. extracting motherboard drivers from a 50mb took over 3 minutes and then suddenly the pc turned off and would only turn on for a second before turning off, when i openned the case i touched the heatsink and nearly burnt myself. when the pc did turn on the fan for the heatsink wasn't spinning as it was catching on the cable and i had to move the cable and restart and it did spin. this is the stock intel cooler, would the fan not spinning be enough to cause it to overheat and shut down? also after getting into windows i monitored the temps and ran prime95 and it didnt breach 65 after 10 mins this is with the fan spinning any thoughts?
