Im not very computer hardware literate. But for the past few days my computer shuts down when i play a game or idle for a few min. So i took off the case and turned it on, the blue fan over my cpu was running about half as fast as it usually does and the cpu was really hot. That corresponds to the message i get when it shuts down, cpu failed. Anyway i can fix this fan, or do i need a new one?

sounds like mechanical wear & tear (bearings/motor)...time to replace it (beofre you smoke that cpu forever).
