Fans

Hi all! I joined so I could ask this question, which I could not find on the forums. That being said I am unsure how I would characterize the problem, so I may just have been looking in the wrong places. I recently opened up my computer to install a wifi card, and ever since my PC refuses to...

Hello everybody, I have this ASUS x54c that wasn't working, so i bought a new motherboard from AliExpress and tried to revive it... but: when I press the power button only power LED lights up, then after 20-30 seconds the fans start spinning. The screen is black, same results connecting to an...

Hello, I am having an issue with my computer not detecting my CPU or GPU fans, whenever the fans ramp up my computer starts to make this obnoxiously loud beeping sound, then when the fans stop the beeping stops. And I know it's not an overheating issue, the CPU doesn't get above 70C on load and...

I have acquired a Alienware Area-51 M15X R1 for free as the owner didnt want it. The problem that I found is that upon startup, the CPU fan spins up fine, but after POST it stops. I replaced the motherboard today, and applied new thermal paste where needed. Although I believe the problem to be...
