Power supply
The fan on my computer's power supply has stopped working. I'd rather not replace it because I bought it quite recently. Is there anything else i can do? I'm able to keep the computer from overheating at the moment (the case is off and a fan is blowing into it but this is hardly ideal). Any help would be appreciated.

As already mentioned, cleaning the fan may be the solution. Shooting some compressed air into the fan would loosen up any dust/dirt/etc. If cleaning the fan does nothing, then you either need to fix or replace the fan, or try other methods of cooling. I've seen some interesting pc projects on the internet that involve liquid cooling. If you're willing to put some time, effort, and creativity into the problem, you can create a cooling system that does not rely on fans. Replacing the fan would still be the easiest solution because fans are rather inexpensive.

The same thing happened to my computer! My dad took it to the shop, and they took it apart and cleaned it, taking out all of the dust. So you can go to a store and have them do that. Or you could do it yourself, but make sure you know how to put it back together! :D
I hope I helped!
