YO,

Today the CPU fan didn't spin up on boot again ?!

Just like yesterday ?!

Wow, weird !

1. Maybe asus bios issue ?
2. Maybe windows xp x64 pro issue ?
3. Maybe nvidia chipset issue ?
4. Maybe just cpu fan issue ?
(I cleaned it not so long ago, dust only though, on the blades gently.)
4.1 Maybe little bit of dust on the wire cause short circuit ?
4.2 Maybe oil and dirt makes it to sturdy to spin up ? (I did oil it some
time ago but simply dropping some oil in it, at least trying on the sides.)

It's probably 4.2 ?! Wow... I can't open the CPU fan I think... so I can't
oil... and clean it properly ? Hmmmm...

The question is:

Will the cpu fan actually spin up when the cpu becomes very hot ?
(The cpu fan has two modes... mostly... "automatic throttle")

I think probably not...

A restart fixes the problem and makes the cpu fan spin up again.

I wonder how long this has been going on ?

It's probably a recent problem otherwise my PC would have probably died by
now ?!

Bye,
Skybuck.

A: what do CPU fans have to do with computer architecture--you know,
how computers are structured on the insides of the chip

B: did you even consider that Karma was in play?

Well that's pretty obvious to me:

If you guys didn't design a fricking chip which needed a fan in the first
place... then I wouldn't be having this issue, would I ? ;)

80486 ring a bell ? ;) :)

Correct, because the company which did so would not have stayed in
business.

Ask yourself one question punk:

"Do mobile phones have cooling fan(s) ?"
