I accidentally unplugged by computer while Windows was doing one of those pre-boot disk checking processes. Now my fans seem to be off when I turn on my computer and I get an error when booting of CPU temperature too high and nothing connected to the cpu_fan header

    Here is a vid example for BIOS setting control. See if this helps. If in BIOS fan still does not work. You will need an assistance of a technician to test if proper electric currency is working with your fan switch.

    In the bios all of the fan speeds says N/A and I cannot figure out how to change the speed on any of them. I use a ROG bios if that helps.

    Hi Michael, I hope your doing well despite the problem you are experiencing now and I'm sorry for that. For that let me try to assist you.

    Did you check which specific fan did not turned on?

    Your CPU fan should be running once the PC is turned on. Same goes with the fans that is found in your rear and others as well. There are few things you could do. If you are familiar with your BIOS, try starting your computer and go into BIOS.

    The fans should be running while you are there. If not, you can check the settings in its fan control. Below is an example but it may not be the same as yours.

    If the control settings cannot configure your fan, you can try to reset it. But before doing that, please make sure that you are familiar with the settings you have in your BIOS so you could return it back to it's state after the reset. Once you have perform a reset. Turn on the PC and go back to your BIOS. At this point, are the fans running?

    If it is running, you can return back the settings of your BIOS.

    If this does not fix the issue, it is possible that the power interruption somehow forced the issue with your fan. And it is advisable to seek help with a computer technician.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if I didn't address your problem. Don't hesitate to ask for further assistance.

    Regards,

    Arnel
