Both harddisk fans just stopped ?

Wow,

I was playing Battlefield 2 full version, when I suddenly smelled this
really bad burn smell.

Maybe the smell came from outside... but I decided to check my computer...
and too my shock both harddisk fans were stopped ?!

( I left my computer on the whole night to download stuff with bitcomet )

What could have caused the papst fans to stop spinning ? They both on 5
volts...

Maybe they don't have enough power to keep spinning...

Maybe only a little bit of dust can stop them from spinning...

Or maybe nvidia cards were drawing a little bit more power than usefull.

I immediatly shutdown the computer, opened up the case, and touched the
harddisks...

But they were cool to touch...

If the smell did came from the pc... then maybe from the papst fans
themselfes...

I also tried to get them spinning with a screwdriver while the pc was on...
but they refused to start spinning.

Now I restarted my DreamPC or some may call it NightmarePC for fun =D and
now the fans are spinning again.

I'll will play battlefield 2 again to see if it happens again...

Otherwise I might have to replace them both... with my 2 spare fans

And some day clean those ****ing fans =D

FANS SUCK

Bye,
Skybuck.

3 theories for ya:

1. Fans sticky because of dust and fine dust in oil. Don't make any cheese
jokes please

2. Little green martians invaded my pc and stopped the fans.

3. A strong wind blew through my computer when there was a draft and stopped
the fans Could have been a gigant fart from a troll lol.

I like 2 and 3 best

Bye,
Skybuck.

Actually that's not true... I just remembered... the pc was off... hmm..

I could have sworn I left it on... maybe it shutdown ? or maybe I did shut
it off myself

Bye,
Skybuck.

I did leave it on... I took a nap in the afternoon... so... it was still
on... that's when it happened.

In the afternoon... fans stopped... oh-oh.

not enough juice so once they stop spinning they don't start up again common
on low rpm fans
