[SOLVED] GPU fans not spinning

GPU fans not spinning.
My gigabyte gt 1050 fans are not spinning even while under load. I couldn't find anything in the BIOS to turn them on. What should I do?

Two things come to mind: either broken fans or your PC using the integrated graphics instead of the card. But since you said under load, I'll go with the fans on the card being broken. Happened once on an ATI I owned.

Check in device manager that only the gtx 1050 is enabled under 'Display Adapters' and try again

Most probably it's a feature of your graphic card and not a defect : most of the newer graphic cards have an improved cooling solution paired with lower power consumption and higher efficiency in a way allowing their fans not to start until their reach a threshold temperature ( feature called fan-stop I think) check your fan curve with MSI after burner or other graphic card tuning utility and adjust it as needed.
