Fan stop spinning...

I'm new you guys to this forum and i really need help! My computer
comes up to the desktop but after a minute or 2 it shuts off
completely and when i look at the back of my computer the fan at the
top is not spininng at all. When i stay on the login screen it doesn't
shut off it stays on and when i go into safe mode on my desktop it
stays on, but only when i am in normal mode it shuts off after 1-2
minutes. Do i need to replace my fan or do you think its something
else? HELP!!!!

Do you mean, after the system had shut off, or before it
shut off (the fan wasn't spinning)?

See if you have a hardware monitoring program running that
is causing the fan to reduce in speed onto the point where
it fails. Monitor temperatures and note whether fan
activity corresponds to a change in them.
