Mine locked up after a few months so I'd recommend getting another fan for it, removing the plastic connecting it and using that

go with what muzzles said but read my precaution

My computer keeps blue screening when I start it up and leave it idleing. Games will also freeze up randomly as well and run laggier then normal. I have a picture of the error but I don't know what it exactly is.
