GPU fans stop on Boot.

[subKONscious]

So, I think it may be my PSU, but all of a sudden my GPU fan stopped working on boot up. They will spin for like 10 seconds, then it stops. PC boots up like everything is fine, I can do anything on it, except play games or download anything heavy, because it makes my PC crash.
I have reinstalled windows 10, all the drivers for MOBO....all the Drivers for GPU....I wven downloaded the EVGA precision software to boot up my fans, it worked...but still a crash as soon as I started to download.

It is an NVIDIA Gtx 970 sc 2.0
I have never had problems like this before.
I removed it, reset my MOBO by removing the battery from it, I changed my pis...etc etc. I am going to be taking it to my brothers house tomorrow to see if it boots up on his PC, but I am looking for anything helpful tonight.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm pretty sure evga designed there 970 to not run the fans while the computer isn't under load but it sounds like you might have an issue with psu as you said.

Well, see that is what is crazy, because when I upgraded and first started using this GPU last year, it ALWAYS booted with fans, and always had them running idle at 20-30 when I wasn't playing, or using anything. I found a temp solution through MSI Afterburner, where I keep my card just slightly overclocked and it seems to be fine, no crashes etc.....UNLESS I am doing something else in the background E.I. downloading something, or streaming a video. I just came across another forum talking about Hard drive problems, so I am now checking that. but thank you for your response!

if you have anything else, it would be greatly appreciated.
