CPU fan operates normally at startup but halts during BIOS or Windows installation.
CPU fan operates normally at startup but halts during BIOS or Windows installation.
That is actually a neat trick heheh...... anyways its so odd .... i unplugged the fan and it doesnt care.... it just ignores the fact there is no cpu fan.... the rest of the system fans work fine..... its just the cpu fan in the cpu fan header..... even when it was plugged in the fan utility either on bios or windows just register 0 rpm even if you calibrate it.... itll just go through the process as if its there working.... wont say its not connected or not working.... wtf
The bios appears partially corrupted. Suggest removing the CMOS and reprogramming the board. If needed, try a different fan header. As a final option, consider warranty service for the board.
CMOS remains faulty. I'm updating the BIOS now—CPU fan is running while this happens. It will spin as long as I'm not in the BIOS or Windows.
Pretty strange. I dont have an answer for this one. All I know is the board is not working correctly if it doesnt give a cpu fan warning when its unplugged. Unless of course it's something stupid we havent thought of yet......
