    Video card fans turn off when windows login appears?


    The fans on my video card work fine in UEFI & Ubuntu but when I load windows they turn off upon the windows login screen loading

    They also seem to stutter a little like they're trying to turn back on but never do. This is only an issue when running windows and wasn't a problem the other day, but I think there were a bunch of updates that installed since then.

    What could cause this and how do I fix it?

    That`s really odd that a 9800 would do that, I doubt if an update had any affect on it.

    Do you have the latest driver installed ?

    341.92 ???

    NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce 341.92 Driver

    I would download the drivers and do a custom clean install. But that really should not affect fan speed on a 9800.

    Oh that's my fault built a new system here are specs:

    Evga 970 GTX
    5820k
    16gb ddr4
    Asrock x99m Extreme4

    And as I mentioned it worked fine the other day and wasn't until a recent update that it has become a problem.

    What happens if you run something that is graphics intensive? Do the fans start then?

    Hi,
    Post your update history :/
    I can't image one that effects the cards
    But then again I now days only look at real Important updates and mostly skip recommended and optional ones.

    Honestly I'm nervous to even run just the desktop too long in case it burns out my $300 video card - what program would be considered graphic intensive?

    And I doubt that would even do it, I've never see fans on a graphics card not running - and as I said before they were both running fine when windows first installed.

    How do I do that?

    From what I understand of the EVGA GTX 970, the fan will go to 0 speed when the card is idle.

    From EVGA site

    "New Features:

    dBi - dB Noise Inverter turns fans off below 60C, generating 0dB of noise during idle!"

    If you have the ACX card ( you still have not updated your specs ) the fans are not supposed to spin until it hits 60c
