CPU fan failed... what to do?

She should have atleast one case fan which you can plug into the CPU fan power connector and see if it boots then.
 
Well it boots up (like i said, it gives that message... and then shuts down)

Even if i can plug that in the connection, i can't run the PC w/o a working CPU fan for more than 10-20 seconds... (or shouldn't)... right?
 
Well if you need a quick fix just remove the case fan and put it on the CPU heatsink. Then leave the side of the case off. If it isn't the same size then I guess you need to get a replacement. Don't run it without a fan.
 
Apprently a new heatsink & fan is relitively cheap at a local computer place so we are going to bring it in on monday and have them fix it.
