[FONT=verdana]Hi Guys[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]I hope you can help me out with this problem I am having. About a week ago when I turned on my computer the cpu fan was at 100% and continued as I logged into windows. I thought this was strange so I shut the computer down and started it up again. Again the fan was on 100% so at this stage I thought perhaps it was the gpu fan and went into a game and found that my nvidia gtx670 was not being detected.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]As I have had exams I have not really been able to look into the issue until now but assumed perhaps my graphics card had died (even though I have only had it just over a year and have not used it to excess), so I took the power cables out from the graphics card ( I have an external power supply) and used my computers integrated card to do my work. The computer without power going to the graphics card works fine although on occasions the cpu fan still does its 100% thing which requires a restart to fix and I can no longer get into my bios settings which I find strange. The computer just freezes.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]Last night I opened up the computer and reconnected to power and found that the gtx 670's fan does work however it is still not being detected. I intend to test it on a another computer in the near future. I connected a gtx 460 which worked fine the last time I used it (a few years admittedly) and was surprised when it also was not detected. Now I am wondering with the wierd cpu fan issue and the fact the bios is not working, is perhaps my motherboard to blame for these issues?[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]Here are the specs for my computer. It is an all in one computer I got from pc specialist. Thanks alot.[/FONT]
