Hello!
I'm pretty stumped by a problem that arise with my kids computer yesterday.
There was a thunderstorm so we unplugged it to be more safe and less sorry.
After starting the PC (not old Lenovo loq small tower) all the fans started blowing at max speed.
I've tried all the settings I can think of, tried using third party applications to slow them down, flashed a new bios and reset that to defaults and fiddled around with balance and performance mode with no results. Restored/reinstalled the computer. Even cleared the cmos by removing the battery for 15 minutes. Messed around in Lenovo vantage with nothing positive coming out of it...
During the bios update procedure, the fans behaved normally, so just running slowly which leads me to believe they is at least some hope.
I've opened the case and verified that ALL fans are running mad with the possible exception of the GPU. It was hard to tell with the surrounding propeller planes.
It has warranty but that must likely involves driving it 100km/160 miles to hand it over, so I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Any ideas are appreciated
Best regards /
Fredrik
