| My CPU fan still stops after windows starts up. I am running an asus p4c 800-e and windows xp and a stock intel p2.4 c. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My temps are running from 37 to 60 degs celsius!!! |

| Your CPU fan stops? Replace it man that is nothing to mess with. Is it hooked to the mobo or directly into the power supply? |

Ummm, yeah... listen to Dad!! Fans are extremely cheap especially compared to the damage that can be done by not doing anything about it!

| It is hooked up directly to my mobo into the cpu_fan slot. However, I have a 430w antec power supply (low noise) which just isn't as quiet as I think it should be. Everything other than the power supply noise and the cpu fan stopping after windows starts is working fine. Could it be a PSU problem? And what damage could running my comp w/o the fan cause, since the comp restarts once a temp of 60 degs is reached anyways? |

It sounds like your motherboard isn't managin it properly. I would reccomend looking through the BIOS to make sure that everything is set okay.
When all else fails, get a CPU fan that hooks to your PSU.
