It's not the cpu fan, that works fine. The one not working is the chipset fan directly on the motherboard just below the cpu, seems it may have quit at some point and killed the motherboard. My boyfriend asked a friend about it, and he's pretty sure it's the motherboard too. Luckily we realized it's still under warranty till August, so we're gonna contact Soyo about it.
