If the fan even start to spin, then it's very probably OK. The problem is elsewhere.
If there was a short in the fan, or other problem with it, it would not even atart, or make abnormal noise.
It's probably be a problem witht the power suply itself (main suspect, by far), or some thing else wrong with the motherboard or some other component.
