Checked several solutions for the non-spinning GPU fan.
Checked several solutions for the non-spinning GPU fan.
I possess my dxdiag at the end of this message because it contains substantial text. My graphics card has been overheating lately, so I attempted driver updates, checked the NVIDIA control panel for fan speeds, and everything else. It seems the fans aren’t rotating even when under heavy use. Temperatures climb to 98°C, then my display freezes. Here are some screenshots I captured. NVIDIA won’t allow me to adjust the fans at all, citing an error. The first photo shows performance under load. The second is after a clean restart with minimal open files. Any advice would be helpful, as I can’t afford a new GPU right now. I’ve re-applied the thermal paste using XTM60. Even during load, the fans won’t move. I also verified all connections are secure. ------------------ System Info ------------------ Report date: 12/30/2024, 14:46:41

Please let me know if you need further details.
Identify a problem with the GPU hardware. Check for failed fans or poor connections, or a non-functional header. Disassemble the card to verify fan connections and test them on a separate board fan header. This helps determine if the issue lies with the header or the fans themselves.
Did you update before or after the issue? Fan speed 0 might represent a hybrid mode where fans remain stationary at low temperatures. I recommend using software such as MSI Afterburner to monitor fan activity and verify proper operation. Edited December 30, 2024 by leclod
I tested the flashlight on my PC at 98°C during a Marvel Rivals practice session. It turned off afterward. Recently, both fans spin when I power it up, but not once the system is fully running. This suggests a software issue. A clean install might be the simplest fix.
