ME, what MoBo do you have? I have an Asus A7N8X-VM. I don't know if it still has warranty, but I suppose so
I will try a Clear CMOS, but I don't understand step two in the motherboard manual.
Sasquatch, a BIOS malfunction in instructions to the power supply? Does the BIOS instruct the PSU?!?
quote:
2. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)
This jumper clears the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM of date, time and system setup parameters in CMOS. The RAM data in CMOS is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the battery
3. Move the jumper caps from [1-2] to [2-3] momentarily. Replace the jumper cap to the original position, [1-2].
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

edit: nevermind, already found out!
edit 2:
didn't work... but I think you were right, and it might be the Mobo, since the mobo shouldn't even give power to the fans! (the fans are connected to the mobo, the mobo to the PSU. It should be in "standby", and not give power to the fans!)
