Not sure what forum to post this in as I'm unsure what is the source of the problem.
So this morning my PC wouldn't start, and it said "DVI port missing." I troubleshooted that (unplugging dvis, using my vga, and so on) but nothing worked.
When I looked inside my pc I realized the cpu fan wasn't spinning (so not sure why it gave me dvi error). My cpu fan was plugged in a 4 pin header on my mobo. unplugging it than plugging it back in did not work. When I tried putting it in a 3 pin connector the pc ran.
So I assumed my 4 pin header was dead. However, after replugging it in the 4 pin connector the pc is running fine again so I guess I was able to fix it.
My question is it common to have to "replug" your cpu fan into your headers? Why was I getting a dvi error?
