What wuould it happen if...?

...suddenly the fan of my vc stops working?

Last nite I was finishing NOLF and the game started crashing after 3 minutes or so of gameplay. I had to restart the PC twice and the third time it crashed it was more polite and sent me back to Windows desktop. The game stopped crashing afterwards. And I ran the computer for three or four hours more with no probs.

I think this is a game bug, but I couldn't help but think what would happen if the fan stops. Would the PC freeze? Would the vc just be fried? Would it give time to change the fan?

TIA.

Games would crash, freeze, or start displayed garbled junk. I would open the case and check the fan to make sure it's working. If it's not, just replace it with a Blorb (Blue Orb) or similar.
