I have an r9 that is about a 1 1/2 years old. It has been working fine.

Then this morning I sit down and its stuck on the Alienware screen.

I give it 15 minutes and no changes, so I hold the power down until it shuts off. I let is sit for a minute and then power on.

The alienware preparing automatic repair screen comes up. I let that sit for 30 mins with no change....and no real sounds from the hardware.

I hold the power down again, wait 15 seconds after shutoff and boot into the diagnostics. Tests run all successfully, but I would like to note that during the fan test, only the top fan and front fan actually spun. The PSU fan DID not.

 I unplugged everything and tried to boot with just the KB and mouse. No change.

With everything unplugged, I pulled the power cord and pressed the power for 30 seconds to discharge. No change.

I tried the CMOS fix. No change.

Can someone with an R9 confirm that the PSU fans spins during testing?

Another tips?

 

Thanks

Marc
