Hi, I would have thought the fan not working is the cause of your problem.
If it were me, I would change the fan and go from there.
Overheating causes problems, and the fan usually stops it from overheating.
I have a system with a temporamental fan and I occasionally have to pull the
plug out when it stops responding.
