Hello everyone.
I recently upgraded my GPU and PSU, but everything seemed normal until my CPU started overheating. I checked the fan and found it wasn’t spinning. After turning off the PC, it warmed up immediately when power came back, then shut off again. The CPU began heating rapidly above 80°C without the fan activating.
The CPU fan is connected to the 'cpu fan' pins on the motherboard, and this setup has remained unchanged since the PSU upgrade.
Any suggestions?
