Power Supply fan

Nope.. its Never on. And judging by how hard it is for me to manually turn
it, its seized or burned out.. Whcih is why I just ordered a replacement. I
think this is why my new FX 5200 video card has been causing my monitor to
enter power saving state, and can only be brought back with a hard rebooot.
..Sounds like a response to too much heat to me.
