So, this morning, I turn on my tower to an incredibly slow boot process and loud CPU fan.
Thought it might have to do with the 2-hour power outage we just experienced, I unplugged everything from the case and discharged any residual power by holding down the power button. No cigar.
So, I thought it might have to do with a little rain sprinkling from the open window and the large fan opening on top of the case, so I open my Thermaltake case, hold down power button to displace residual electricity, unseat RAM, graphics card, take a hair dryer and slowly blow out anything that might've gotten in(nothing looked even remotely wet though)
Give it a while to completely dry, reseat components and reconnect only basic essentials. Start her up, and same issue.
Now, PC Wizard used to show CPU temps by Core, HDD temps, 3 other unnamed temps, and CPU fan speed and voltage, under the "Voltage, Temps & Fans" tab.
All PC Wizard now shows is CPU voltage, CPU temp by Core(around 24°-34°C), and HDD temps.
Also, BIOS fan settings have gone from 4-5 speed control settings to only "auto fan detection" and the shut down command in Windows now only shuts down the OS and doesn't cut power to the PSU.
Any help would be appreciated.

-Thermaltake V9 Black Edition case
