Hi,
(I really don't know where to post this,feel free to move the thread if necessary)
Yesterday i noticed that my cpu fan wasn't working anymore so unplugged it to clean it (thermalright fan+heatsink). When i did that, i turned the psu off with its very own power button.
Then i plugged the fan back on the mobo, turned the psu on. The fan started spinning for a second, and then the whole computer was starting to turn itself on, just for a few seconds, then turning itself off immediatly, then turning on...etc
So, i unplugged the gpu (r9280x OC- sapphire), and the computer is working again. But not that cpu fan, it's still not spinning.
I had the same issue with another sapphire gpu, a radeon hd5850, it was preventing the computer to boot/switch on/launch windows. But when i removed that 5850, fans where alright, everything was normal. (That was with that same psu)
So I REALLY don't know what to do since i can't try another hardware in my rig or try my hardware in another rig. I'm suspecting the psu but what if it's the mobo? What if it's the gpu AGAIN? What if it's a gpu issue caused by a faulty psu?
Can someone provide me some help and advice please?
I also had strange issues recently with a mouse (cooler master storm sentinel advance 2), it was faulty despite being 1month old (rma'd it, the new one works fine). I also had 2 old odd that stopped working and causing issues in Explorer. So maybe is that cpu fan issue a coincidence, but i think not. Something is terribly wrong in my rig.
Btw the rig is:
Msi z87-g45
R9 280x OC
8gb kingston ram (it's not faulty i believe, 'been testing it with memtest some weeks ago)
Antec hcg 520w
2 hdds (Western Digital (1tb) & Hitachi (500gb), both 7200rpm)
There are 3 big case fans plugged to sysfans ports on the mobo.
