GPU Fans not spinning even when overheating

[conormac345]

Lately I've been noticing that my Graphics Cards fans aren't spinning. I thought it was normal because the computer wasn't warm/hot enough to need them running. Then my PC started to lock up and the GPU wouldn't output a signal. I later found that my graphics card had been getting very hot especially during gaming and video editing (Premiere Pro). The temp sometimes got up to the 90 degrees Celsius range and the fans were still not running at all. I'm nervous and I really don't want to buy another computer/GPU :/. Any help would be appreciated

Windows 10
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Graphics 8GB GDDR5
Intel Core i5-6400 2.70GHz

Good job, darkbreeze! Thanks for the info about these bogus tamper warnings, and the tip about keeping threads cleaner. Noted. I'm glad the OP's problem was resolved.

See, I told you so. Manufacturers simply put those rules in place to keep the majority of people who probably don't belong inside, from going inside, but it doesn't have a legal leg to stand on if you had to enforce it. Courts have already ruled and made precidence against such tampering warnings long ago, and recently as well.

Glad you were able to get it fixed. Guessing maybe you would not have if I hadn't pushed you a little bit. Good luck.

Ya Thanks so much. without that, I probably wouldve just shipped it to newegg, got a new one and have to put all my data back on (other than the data on my External HD). Can't thank you guys enough for the help
