Hi There, today I have finally gotten around to putting together a new system with all new parts except that I am keeping my current GPU which is an Asus GTX 580 Matrix Platinum (one of those giant 3-slot cards). The problem I am facing is that after I have assembled the system and installed all drivers everything is running smooth until I boot up a fullscreen game (Counter-Strike) It will run perfectly for about 30-60 seconds then start to get really choppy then the screen will turn off and remain off until I perform a hard reset (note also sound cuts out but System does seem to remain on without resetting itself for some reason).
After hours of trying to solve the problem myself I ran a temperature monitoring program and surprise surprise we have temperatures in excess of 105 (Celsius) this then lead me to believe there was a problem with the fans as I remember that when the temp would near around 70 the noise would be as if there was a jet engine in the room about to take off. I then looked into the case with the system still running and sure enough the fans are dead still.
Keeping in mind I used this same card just hours before putting it in my new system and it worked flawlessly so I'm assuming (and hoping) its a driver/software issue. The card is also recognised in 'dxdiag' and pretty much everywhere else and it also says the drivers are installed correctly. What I've tried:
Installing latest Nvidia drivers (327.23)
Wiping and then re-installing drivers that came with original Driver disc (270.61)
Playing around with fan speed control software that came with Driver disc, no success.
If anyone has any advice on how to get the fans spinning again it would be greatly appreciated also keeping in mind this is a brand new system with a clean install so if you feel like saying "Oh by the way did you install that or configure this?" I might've missed something, I'm not perfect.
System Specs:
Intel i5 4440 Processor
ASRock Z87 Extreme-6 Motherboard
Geil 2x 4GB Sticks of RAM (8GB)
Thermaltake Tough Power XT 775W PSU
Samsung 840 Series 250GB SSD
Zalman Z5+ Mid-Case
Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 64-bit
