Zotac GTX 980: fans keep spinning up every few seconds even after power is *disconnected* when HDMI cable is plugged in.

I have a Zotac GTX980.

(I noticed that my GPU fans started to rattle lately.)

This morning, I noticed a regular noise from the fans *while the machine was powered off. I checked, and the GPU fans span up every few seconds, immediately stopping again. It seems that both of them are not synced.

I unplugged the power and switched off the AC, but the fans kept spinning. I unplugged HDMI and now the fans stopped spinning.

  • what causes this?
  • how can I stop this?
  • how likely is it that the constant spinning was undetected and caused the fans to rattle (I fear that they will fail soon :( )
  • is fixing a larger standard fan onto the gpu a valid way to replace the failing fans? (after removing the original fans)

The machine is running Win 7 (so Windows GPU drivers). The screen is a LG MU67. It's powered on; my other (running) machine is plugged into the screen on the other HDMI port.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
