Hi Alkestra

Alienware_Dude is right. The 12V rail could be fine (that's what your fans run off of) but the 5V rail could be messed up. I've seen a few times when even putting a meter on an unstressed unit would show a good voltage reading, but putting the unit under load would then show the problem. Got stumped like that once, I learned from that one. If the comp was freezing up, a 5V rail going south will certainly cause that.
