Is the SMPS fan affecting my gaming? I am a game freak.. and I have many games running on my system... It was going great until I had this problem... When I play games, they open and my system gets hanged and a message is shown in a blue screen... I've been facing this problem for quiet a bit of time... Recently I have seen that the SMPS fan is not rotating... I tried to repair it thrice but cannot do that... is the SMPS fan affecting my gaming?

Possibly. It may be that the fan has failed and the PSU is overheating as a result and causing instability. I'd replace the power supply.

What is the brand and model of the power supply in question?
