Device shutting down without making a sound while remaining active
Device shutting down without making a sound while remaining active
Over the last two days, my PC has begun shutting down its cooling fan, almost as if it were powering down, though it remains active. This issue began after I reset the system to factory settings due to a trojan infection. Could you help identify the cause?
You're still carrying the virus inside. Simply turning on or resetting the device won't eliminate it. It's better to have it checked or repaired at a professional service.
Fan control is a typical feature, and it's perfectly fine. The fan will restart once the system reaches a specific heat level.
Are you sure? It seems they didn’t completely remove the issue; it requires more than just a basic restart. Regarding the fan, your point is likely correct.
It doesn't matter if a bug remains hidden even after a factory reset. Honestly, I'd definitely have it checked and scanned. Speaking of timing, how long did the infections last between these occurrences? Were they spaced randomly or was there a pattern related to what you did or the site you visited? Your machine is yours—feel free to do whatever you want.
When you asked me to scan it, I performed a complete scan and encountered no issues.
