Today, I went to watch a movie on my computer with Media Player Classic. All of a sudden I hear a loud jet engine sound. At first I thought it was the movie, but then I paused it and heard it coming from my tower. I opened the case and determined it was one of the GPU fans going at max speed while the other fan wasn't moving at all. I initially thought it was a temperature issue so I cracked open my window and turned on the chassis fan all the way up but that wasn't the case. On MSI afterburner I was getting a reading of 36 degrees Celsius and the fans were still blowing at full speed. I tried manually adjusting the fan speed on MSI after burner but no matter the setting it would not change. I tried Percision XOC and the results were the same, I cannot adjust the fan speed at all, as in, I can change the settings in the software but it will not do anything at all. I downloaded GPU Z and noticed something strange. The fan rpm is not giving a reading at all, it just stays at 0. I update NVIDIA drivers, nothing. I updated my bios, still no change.
When I shut off my computer the fan goes back to normal speed until I boot into windows. Everything will be fine until I load a game of play a video file, all of a sudden the fan revs up to maximum speed. So at this moment and time, all I can do is browse without aggravating the fan and causing it to rev up like a jet engine. The only way to clear the issue is to restart the computer.
I shut down the computer. I flicked the switch off my power supply (mind you it is a EVGA power supply). I removed the power cable going into the GPU. I've exhausted all my options.
