Hello,
I have an E-Machine 333K and for the past three months it has been humming and sometimes acting up, as in shutting down or freezing. My brother fixed the shutting down/freezing part and I replaced a small fan (CPU?) because it had two broken blades. I did not replace the heatsink (?) that the fan was attached to. Did not know how to. I think the problem is actually coming from the large fan that is attached to the ceiling of some enclosed device that is attached to the ceiling of the computer (educate me?) and was wondering if I need to replace that fan (what is it called?) or something else. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! X.
