AsRock Motherboard Error. Help.

[Blade_trigger901]

So, I've had my computer for a few weeks now, freshly built essentially. Everything went perfect to my amazement being my first build. What I was missing was a few case fans. Which I just got today, to keep everything nice and cool. Now before I tell you my problem if like to say I haven't had an error or a problem in any shape or form up until now. So I installed all my fans today, one in the front and in the back, I didn't plug any into the motherboard because I have a fan controller. The only ones I did have plugged into the motherboard was the cpu fan and the default front fan which I ended up connecting to my fan controller today as well. Everthing went as it should, how could it go wrong, I was just installing some fans. Well when I hooked everything back into it (keyboard, mouse, headphones, hdmi) and it I logged into windows and such. I opened my Asrock eXtreme tuner so I could turn my cpu fan speeds down. But instead of the usual menu popping up I got "error: 0xFFFE" I have no idea what it means, how or why it got/ is there. Any help would be appreciated. I've never seen this before. My motherboard is: Asrock 970m Pro3

What happens when you try this with the fan controller unplugged from your motherboard?

What is your CPU, case, and fan controller?

What is your CPU, case, and fan controller?

My CPU is the fx 8320. Spec01 and I'm not sure which fan controller, I threw out the box for it. Again, no troubles with anything until now. Do you think that unplugging a fan from the motherboard would've done it? My fan controller is connected to the power supply not motherboard so.

That's possible. Next step, plug one of the fans back into the motherboard and see

If you Google this, you will see this is a problem that has occurred before, but usually with software changes, not hardware changes.
