Fans can be replaced, and some can just be opened up and a drop of oil
added to fix things like this.

It might pay to try the Ubuntu packages for MythTV - you may have a
build option wrong somewhere, and the v32 prebuilt packages are fine
for Ubuntu.  Uninstall your version and do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/32
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mythtv

Also, what video card are you using?  There are some very strange
things that happen if you do not have the right drivers and matching
MythTV settings.
