When I turn on my computer GPU fans spins for 3secs then stops. Manual controllers does not seem to work. Ive been using MSI afterburn since forever but tried others and did not work as well.
While gaming I reach to 107deg no fan obviously :( 

Should I RMA it? that is my last resort since it will take forever to get back.

Am i not getting enough power from PSU? everything worked fine until I updated by driver 2 versions back. I reverted though but still not working

Specs

i5-2400
8GB RAM
PALIT GTX 660 OC 2GB

107C is way too high..... Ya don't wanna exceed 82 - 84C on a 6xx series. Can ya swap cards either one in your machine or your card in another ?

COUGAR 700w. There are black ports and red ports. Ive always placed them on the black one which said "peripherals/floppy/" etc. The red ports said +12v 1 and 2.

Also GPU idles at 43C at idle with no FAN. I could still do 80% of my work which is video editing and photoshop mostly, but even simple games like NEW VEGAS it peaks at at 107c

Yes swapping might be possible but i'd have to bring it to the office. Im not sure if hte old computers there could fire up this card though. Will a generic 500w PSU suffice for testing? The fan spins fine on boot, its free and loose no dust even. It just stops after 3 secs.
