You should have two options, restore and save your files as is or factory restore and lose everything and your PC goes back to factory settings. Have you tried F12 on boot up for restore options? And did you not burn your own set of recovery disks as asked to do when you got your W7 PC? and also a repair disk? this is something you need to do in the first week of setting up a new PC. Then you do not need a W7 CD/DVD, we all know they do not come with a new one any longer. This post was edited by Aputernut on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 10:52

this is a suggestion, maybe you can take the side off the tower and take some pictures of the inside especially the fan you suspect to be the culprit and someone here can then have a better idea what exactly it is you are dealing with and you can take a picture of the one your bought or the package. There are very good picture tutorials online on how to replace fans but as stated working with power supplies can be very dangerous. The other fans are not that difficult to replace. Personally I would consider replacing the entire power supply on a pc that old since it will likely go bad soon anyway and is probably much less powerful than the ones used today so you could upgrade to a much better power supply and that task is easier to take on. here is a step by step with pics for replacing a power supply fan. Computer Power Supply Fan Replacement Here is a nice one with pics for how to replace the entire power supply How To Replace Your Power Supply Keep in mind that pc is quite old and out dated so decide just how much you are willing to put into it. I definitely would take up Owbist on his offer!
