My cpu fan suddenly stops!!

[Dragonfly]

Or at least so says PC-Probe (from asus). And one time i saw the +5v go down to 0.
But wouldn't the computer stop running if there was no +5v ?
And suddenly it just say that the fan runs at 0 rpms (where it did 4800 just before). I don't think a fan can decrease speed that fast (instantly). And even when the fan was down at 0 rpms, my cpu did NOT get any hotter (kept it at 57c).
So is it just pc-probe or my motherboard that isn't too good at monitoring ?

My system is:
ASUS A7V133 (motherboard)
AMD Thunderbird 1,2 GHz @ 1,2
Taisol cooler (made for 1,2 GHz).
I've got an intake and exhaust fan in my case (though the exhaust is built into the power supply).
Any help is appreciated.

If you mean for the cpu i just have got a new fan on, the old one did it too.
But since the temperature doesn't get higher, i think it's just the motherboard which stops monitoring for a few seconds (5-10).

Why don't u just open the case cover &amp; have a look. Wait until the alarm bell from Asus Probe and take a look immediately to c if the fan actually stop. If it does. Go into the bios, under power set the CPU fan to "always on". Tht should solved ur probs.
