Recently, for some unknown reason, my fans have become stuck at a steady, but rather slow speed. Upon monitoring the temperature I have seen that regardless of how hot or cold my core gets, the fans never increase or decrease in speed. This is causing my computer to crash quite often, since my computer can no longer regulate its temperature. I have checked my power cords both inside, and outside of the computer and all seem fine. Also, Ive made sure to dust and clean everything inside. Is there any reason why my fans would suddenly start acting this way? It is quite frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you need to talk to the manufacturer's tech support. There might be some method of controlling the fan speeds built into your box, and they would be the ones who know how it works. Your manual might have some info on it.

Aegis: I'd definitely do that, but unfortunately my computer is out of warranty and they refuse to say a word to me unless I provide a credit card to be billed a certain amount a minute to :P Checked the manual, nothing in there about controlling fan speeds...

Manufacturer/Model: T6534 Isn't that the low-cost E-machine sold e-masse back in 2006? If that's the one, read the confession of a former CompUSA employee in the post below. They have discussed fan speed. http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/lofi... i_Xp/VistaUser

You can get adapters that will let you plug the fans directly into the 4 pin molex power supply connectors. Then they will run at full speed. You can see an example here: http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_in...

It could simply be that the fans are getting less voltage, meaning that the problem is your power supply or (if the fans are plugged into the motherboard) the motherboard voltage circuitry. In my experience slow fans do not cause crashes, but low voltage certainly will.
