Hello everyone, i Had am r9 290 4gb, it was running fine for a month but today i took it out and cleaned it a bit, blowed some air and now when i plug it its fans dosent spin, The Gpu works fine but none of the 3 fans spin.
I reinstalled drivers, checked plugs etc everything is fine.... Did i damaged the wires of gpu's fans or something?
Any help what should i do?

There is a possibility fan cable(s) got disconnected from the headers by blow of air. However, to gain access to the headers, you may be forced to remove heatsink, which can void warranty (depends on how the card is build). Aside from that, I don't see a way you could damage card with compressed air, so it may be pure coincidence, and maybe the fans just decided to die. Either way, if reinstalling the card won't help, I would send it for warranty repair.
