Ive recently discovered a problem with my rig as I was opening it up to clean it, My Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Fan doesn't spin resulting in my computer overheating.
The fan will spin consistently if i open up the rig and spin it manually a few times and let it start up but if I turn on my computer on a cold start without any help the fan will attempt to spin 1/8 and then just stop.
Once the fan begins spinning it keeps going on its own but has trouble starting up by itself, If I manually spun it then stopped it, it spins again by itself. Im looking for advice on how to fix the problem thanks!
My specs are PSU - 520watt Antec OS - Windows 7 Enterprise CPU - I5 2500l (Overclocked at 4.5) GPU - GeForce GTX Nvidia 560ti MOBO - Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
When you manually spin the fan, i mean with basicly 0 force, is their a little resistence? If so, something might be blocking it from starting up, but after that overcomed goes on normally

The fan is replaceable with any of the same size fan, just replace it or add a 2nd one. Mine is doing the same thing but it hasn't stopped completely yet, it's just not working near as fast as it should.
