So, this is probably a simple problem, but I'm new to this. Have mercy?

The problem is that my chassis fans (for a corsair 760t) sometimes won't spin under their own power.
Now then, if I start them myself, then they work somewhat fine, but barely move any air, and I think that my computer has crashed a couple of times as a result.

 

The fans, from what I can tell, are spinning slower than normal, but it just seems like it, I can't tell for certain.

Current Build:

Corsair 760t Chassis, stock fans
FX-8350, stock fan
1TB HDD

Asus m5a97 le r2.0

NVIDIA 750ti

1200w PSU

 

(Im not sure what you would need, so Ill just throw what I think can be used. More available later.)

(Oh, and the high watt PSU is for upgrades later.)

 

Reason: I'm looking at being able to run Star Citizen by the end of the year, and having my comp crash every 3 hours while running games that intensive, is a bit annoying.

Do you have them hooked up to some kind of fan controller? Is there touching the fan blades that could be stopping them?
