Recently I experienced something weird on my computer. When I wanted my computer to go into stand-by, it got stuck at a certain point: everything seemed to be shut down, (I got no input on my monitor, neither seemed the USB-connected devices get any power) but the fans were still spining... I couldn't get my computer out of stand-by anymore and I was forced to shut down the computer manually.
This problem has occured before (standby, while the fans kept spinning), but it usually didn't harm anything. Beside the fact I always lost the data of the processes that were running... But this time, something strange happened. When I booted the computer back up, a lot of settings seemed to be changed. ASUS Express Gate had been enabled, my RAID configuration was gone, the order of the Hard Disk drives seemed to be messed up and most important of all: my Windows couldn't boot anymore. I solved these problems quite quickly; I got my data from the RAID disks back, my Windows ran fine again, but one problem hasn't gone away: all the fans run at 100%.
I can adjust the fan speeds with speedfan.... but I don't like to be dependent on tools. My fans (3 casefans, cpu-fan and gpu-fan) used to work properly. Although there are connected by a 3-pins connector, they have had the ability to adjust the fanspeed depending on the workload. Now, they are stuck at full speed. Q-fancontrol doesn't seem to work either, setting the cpu-fanspeed to Q-fan control results in a CPU-fan Error during POST.
Actually, I don't remember having Q-fan control enabled previously, so it should work without it. I haven't changed these settings when I build my system...
Please, does anybody know how my fans could get up messed up so bad?
I've got a ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard. I've already tried to reconnect all the fans... without success...
