hi, have a pc that is randomly bsoding, sometimes immediately after a power up and sometimes after some activity. opening up i notice the cpu fan does not spin at all even when i play a movie. could this be cpu overheating due to fan spoilt......

How many fans do you have?
One for cpu
Another one for chassis.
How about swap this ?

Replace cpu fan as soon as possible. Repeating use of computer when cpu fan is down cause premature damage
to cpu.
