O.o I didn't know a computer had so many fans...haha.

Ok here's a photo, since I'm not too sure.

Afraid it's overbright because me thinking that the case was too dark @ night, used a torch and my sis' hp which had flash.

Oh and I did that " chkdsk c: /f" scan thingy, the system just did a check on C and restarted without anything suspicious.

And then after that, have to figure out how to open the computer...

well u gotta turn on the power to tell which is not working. that big fan that is circled is to vent the hot air out of the PC.. do u have one in front to vent cool air in?

Err yea the computer was on already when I took that photo.

Nope don't think there's one at the front, only 3 other fans - the graphic card one, the one that's 'next to the RAM slots' and that one that's situated right at the top...which I hope can be seen from the previous photo :p

:o wait if I'm using a standing fan at the back, then it'll be blowing all the hot air back in right?

Uh huh, yea Hybrid

Tham called when he happened to be in Sim Lim Square. First time it rebooted though, thought it was standard thing after checking...

Hope the fan he got isn't too small...

(Though, looks can be deceiving)
