    I don`t know why but during playing games the GPU fan seems not to be working. The temperature reaches 100C and i`m unable to play.
    DO you know what`s the reason for such GPU fan behaviour?
    Cheers.

    The fan could be broken or it could be clogged with dust and not able to spin. When was the last time you cleaned out your vents?
