CPU Overheating

[imported_Lokey]

When I turn on my computer my Asus Probe keeps popping up and warning me that my "CPU Fan is Below Threshold", and it keeps doing this until the Asus Probe v2.23.01 pops up and warns me that.. "CPU Temperature overheating" than my computer turns off.
So the next time I turned it on I looked in the Asus Probe to see what my settings were, here's what I found...
Settings: CPU Temperature Threshold 72c
MB Temperature Threshold 75c
CPU Fan Threshold 600 rpm
Since I've had the computer 2 years now, the Asus Probe Always popped up warning me about overheating and a few other warnings, but the computer never shut down on me. I also noticed that I don't have a Power Fan, or a Chassis Fan, I noticed this because the Asus Probe has blank readings for them.
I looked at the fan and it seems to be running. (maybe it's not running fast enough?)
I hope this information is helpful in finding out whats wrong with my computer and what I could do to fix it.
Thanks, Lokey

Sorry didn't mean to.

Why don't you turn off the monitors on the probe for the fans? Only fan that I use on the probe is the CPU fan.

The fan sounds like it keeps getting slower and slower. Turn off any variable fan speed, just let the fan run at its stock speed, and see what happens. Otherwise you might have to get a new fan.

Just because you have no readings for a fan does NOT mean that they are not there. It sounds like you did not build your own computer

First, open up your computer and try to remove dust (I am assuming that you have never done this before). Case fans can be cleaned using Q-tips.

Carefully clean the processor fan. Spin the processor fan blade (from your description the fan may be going bad) If it seems a little stiff, then replace it.

If the fins of your processor cooler are choked (and they likely are), then use a Q-tip to get out what you can, and blow out the remaining dust using one of those cans of compressed air that you can get at office supply stores.

A clean machine is a mean machine!
