the fan at the back of the power supply wont spin at all. to stop it from over heating i took the case off the power supply box, hoping that the heat will be taken out by the other fan in pc. Can i replace it? the connections seem to be welded on!!

Get a new power supply. It will be a lot less dangerous. It ought to say somewhere on the power supply that there are "no serviceable parts inside." That means do not go inside the power supply, and there are reasons for that, the voltage can kill you.
You can, however, replace the power supply yourself. I have done this many times.

You should use a fan last thing we want is a transistor exploding from the PSU you can find new good PSU for only $40

you can replace the fan even if it is welded so your expense will be lessen. it is so easy to solder... but if you cant, just buy a new power supply...
