I built a gaming PC about 2 months ago, and everything worked great out of the box. I was able to install and play games such as Overwatch, Counter Strike, and Valorant. I had great performance with low temps in most games, but to maybe step it up, I installed 2 exhaust fans. About a week after the 2 extra fans were installed my computer just refused to boot one day. The little loading gif with the spinning dots froze completely and I could not get into my PC. I then posted on these forums about my issue and was told my PSU was not suited for the amount of fans I had. I simply unplugged 2 fans and it worked like new afterwards. Fast forward a week and the same issue happens again. The loading gif freezing on the MOBO splash screen locked me out of my computer. I then noticed that my GPU fans were on the moment I pressed the power button. This made me think that my GPU drivers were messed up, so I used the windows recovery environment ‘system restore’ and restored to a few days ago. This worked, but the next day the exact same problem AGAIN. GPU fans spinning on boot up, and freezing on MOBO splash screen. This time however, the system restore was unsuccessful and now I’m stuck locked out of my PC.
Any help would be appreciated, and I’m not super fluent in all the computer terminology.
