For about three to four days after building my new desktop, everything seemed to be working fine. Then everything on my monitor froze as every single fan within my case began spinning much faster than usual. I had to turn it off via the power button, but every time I attempted to reboot it, I got the same results with the fans, except nothing would be displayed on the monitor.
At first, I suspected that the PSU was the problem, especially after I disconnected it from everything but the motherboard and its own fans were still spinning rapidly, but after finally getting my replacement and having the same thing happen, I'm suspecting that the problem may be with the motherboard itself.
Any help that doesn't void my warranty would be appreciated. If not, then I'm probably gonna have to get Gigabyte to send me a replacement.
