I'm a major noob at anything inside my computer... today I noticed the top fan wasn't working... all other fans (the CPU fan and the remaining two case fans WERE working).
I start taking the plastic case apart in an attempt to clean the fan that wasn't running. When I reboot now all 3 case fans won't fun.
Long story short... what got them working again was swapping the connections; I have a gigabyte motherboard, one connection runs one fan the other runs to two other fans. I already have seen after multiple shutdowns and restarts the even after swapping the wires the fans will, again, not work after a restart from the power off. What the HECK do I do?????? At least I can keep working after swapping the wires... but how do I actually fix this problem so I don't have to swap wires just to get the fans to run?
