Fan malfunction

[Itsteller]

Recently i have noticed my fan using alot of power and i began to notice my pc shutting down randomly. i was on speed fan and have set my fan 1 to 100% and in the side tap it says the fan is at 0 rpm (Not moving) and i am wondering if i am missing something or if there is a easy fix or do i need a new fan

Usually if power consumption on a fan is much higher than normal something is wrong with the windings in the motor, but it sounds like it might be a bad RPM reading possibly.

If the windings fails there is no fix but to throw it out, but check to see directly in the BIOS if it's giving a proper RPM reading if there is nothing wrong then it should be working as normal, fans almost always fails first with the bearings or things wearing out and making noise.

You can also physically look at fan and see if its going slower than normal.
