My fans are still running but the lights aren’t working. Here are my PC details and fan setup. As you can see, I have three RGB fans, all stopped functioning. Two are linked together and one operates independently. It seems the issue isn’t with the hardware itself. I double-checked the connections after turning on the PC while taking a shower and eating dinner, but it might have taken longer than expected. I turned it back on at around 5 PM, so I probably missed it. I’ve updated Windows, which reported some settings issues managed by my organization—though I fixed that and upgraded to the latest version. That could be a sign of a virus. I visited an MSI center to update the Mystic lights, but they didn’t respond. However, the Arctic fans work without any software; they lit up automatically when I first powered on the PC in January 2024. Now, with the MSI software, they change color based on CPU temperature. Only the GPU light is functional. The most likely cause appears to be a problem with Windows or the Mystic Lights software. I’m unsure, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. These photos were taken over a year ago, around January 25, 2024.

Fixed by pressing the power button continuously for about 15 seconds and clicking it 15 times. Odd since I had turned it off multiple times during the week.
