UNSOLVED
Case Fan Issue
What could cause a fan to have been running normally for nearly the entire life of the System. to just suddenly spin only on system boot up?
i searched online for some troubleshooting, and i found an App called FanControl. That was able to get my fan spinning again. I am now using it to watch my CPU temps.
So, what could cause my fan to stop spinning, without the help of a 3rd party app? Age? My Dell is from 2009.

Hi,
In this case I would say it likely is the age of your system at this point.
However, have you had a chance to open the system cover and check for any dust build up?
