    Hi, ive got this advent all in one PC, and the CPU fans aren't spinning, so after about 30 seconds the PC shuts down, i presume from overheating. Does anyone know what could cause the fans to stop working? also the screen no longer turns on does anyone know what could cause this?

    The CPU fans are powered by the motherboard, so it sounds like the board needs replacing. If the PSU was at fault, the PC wouldn't power up at all.

    being most motherboards have at least 2 power connectors for fans then try using the other 1 if the cpu fan can reach it. also possible that it is the cpu fan at fault & not the motherboard connector so try another fan to see if spins or not.

    Make sure all you power cables from your psu are connected properly sounds to me they are not connected correctly and this is why the fans are not running correctly.
