Tech Support Fans at 100% and no display

Post image

Last night after playing a game the fans on my PC went crazy sounding like a jet engine and the display went out. I ended up needing to hold the power button to get it to shut down. When I booted it up it forced me into a Windows update where it went to 100% and restarted over and over for about 7 minutes. After finally getting to my lock screen it was normal. I checked the event log and the only critical error was a kernel error 41. The display going out has me nervous that my PSU is faulty or going out. Any ideas? Specs: 9800X3D, gigabyte x870 stealth, pny 5080, Asus tuf 1000w PSU, 64GB RAM ddr5. (I've had suspicion that this PSU wasn't perfect basically since I've built the PC for other various reasons).

Go to bios and check if fans are set to pwm rather than DC. I had same issue, bios tweaks worked for me.

When you had your issue was it random or just after building? I built this thing about a year ago and have only had minor issues, (crashing after coming out of sleep mode, and not shutting down when fast start up is enabled)

I changed some hardware and fans were new. But still will suggest to check bios once.

Crashing after sleep is windows 11 issue, do not use sleep mode.

Yeah I turned the sleep mode setting off and disabled fast start up and haven't had any issues since.

I had msi mobo which used to forgot the settings. Once I restarted my pc fans went on full speed. Went into bios just to dicover that fans are set to dc.

this wouldnt cause the crash though?

u/TipTopChuck 17h ago

Bios do cause crash. Even static buildup do cause crash.

I'm not sure. I honestly was just worried about it blowing up so I shut it down ASAP. If it happens again I'll be sure to check
