Question Pump completely stopping after few seconds

[SeanP940]

Hi all.

I’ve recently rebuilt my cooling loop and I can’t figure out why my pumps playing funny buggers. I’ve tried tilting my PC, shaking it, cycling it etc... but nothing seems to work, I thought I may have airlocked it somehow but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I turn on my PC and the pump will move a tiny amount of water for a few seconds then it looks as if the fluid moves back and forth in the tubes. I’m not sure what’s going on as I’ve never encountered this before.

Thanks

Hello,
If i may ask, where did you connected it? Molex or Fan header?

Try going into your bios and pushing all the fans to full power, one should be connected to the pump and it cuts off power to the pump. Also make sure your cmos battery is good sometimes if a cmos battery is dead it can lead to various problems on the motherboard including power to certain things connected. Example would be your pump
