I just put in two additional led fans into the side and front of my case. When I was done installing and turn on the computer. Only the front fan and the back case fan turned on. The side fan didn't even turn on and the front fan did not emit the led light.
Also when the computer turned on there was no display signal being detected. When I wanted to turn off the computer, it wouldn't turn off. I held the front button for over 1min but nothing would happen, even with lights on.
Curious, I was in my case trying to see if there was obvious problem but in the process the top of my finger hit the gpu fan causing the fan to stop for a second. In a split second all the led fans turned on and the whole system shut down. Half a second later the lights flickered on again and out of reaction I went to the power supply and flip off the switch. I don't think I fried anything but I am very hesitant to turn on my computer again.

Does anybody know what to do or what happened? I've only had the computer for 1 week and its been working 100% till now.

Very doubtful that hitting the GPU fan will cause any harm. I would try unplugging the two new fans you added and making sure the system runs fine as it was. Then try adding one fan at a time and see if anything runs out of the ordinary. You may simply be overloading your PSU with the new fans (Not sure how much power fans tend to draw or what type of PSU you are running, this is just a preliminary guess). Not sure why your computer seemed to freeze up and not power down the first time around, but hopefully it does not happen again.

Keep us posted on how it turns out for ya, and definitely try adding the fans one by one and narrow down the problem. Best of luck to ya - Sub

I unplugged the 2 fans I added. When I flipped the switch to turn on computer the case fan and cpu fan both twitch and the hdd light flickers then it stays still for a few seconds. I tried turning it all the way on but it wont do that anymore.

It turns out that some how during my installation of the fans, the 24 pin connector got knocked out unevenly, thus causing little power to power whole system. Thanks for answers, it means alot!
