Does the fan spin up during the BIOS Post test booting process? If not the fan may be dead. If it does then maybe the system just hasn't gotten hot enough for the fan to start up. My 8500 can go about half an hour before the fan needs to spin up to cool if I am just doing office work.More Questions

Sorry to be so slow about getting back here. The demands on my time are enourmous, largely courtesy of identity theft and credit fraud.
To try to cover all bases in one post:
I don't have any idea what updates were installed. Actually, I did not know that automatic updates had been turned on.
I ran diagnostics on the fan and heat sensors, and both reported as having passed. But it seems that the fan does not come on during normal operation. No blue screen or automatic shutdown, although it did hang when shutting down after the updates had installed.
Hopefully, I will have a little time tomorrow to check into things more thouroughly.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond with suggestions.
