Cooling fans problems

hi
I have this Asylum FX5900 (NU) , it seems to be working, but I noticed that now when I
start playing my game, UT2k3, the cooling fans will stop working!! This is recent
behavior, the drivers are 53.03 and speeds are stock! OS is WinXP Pro.
Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it ??
TIA

Perhaps a marginal power supply. When the video card is going full
blast, it may not be able to power the fan.

Thank you Robert, the PSU is not the problem I think, it is an Enermax 435 watts.
But I did installed a newer set of driver, 53.04 and it seems to have fixed the problem.
But thank you for taking your time to answer.
Cheers

Do ALL the fans quit working or just the fan on the video board? I'm
curioius about this as I can't imagine any software problem that would shut
down all the cooling fans in a machine. Of course I don't run my fans off
the motherboard . . .

J. it was only the video card fans that stoped. I always keep my computer side door off,
and wihle playing I noticed the FPS getting real slow, quick look and fan are not working
(noticed easy since this card, Asylum has blue leds on each fan). Only reboor would get
them back running. Now with the new drivers it seems ok. I am guessing the drivers got
corrupted somehow ??

Probably. Hope it keeps working.

There was a driver problem when using 4.xx with the higher powered FX cards
where the fan would shut down when a 3d screensaver was run. I believe
Nvidia fixed that issue with the 5.xx drivers though. Still, it might be a
driver issue. You might try reseating the card and reloading the video
driver.

hello
If the fan is using a 2 pin connector and not worried about noise you can
just hook it up to a fan spliter cable so you can be sure it is working 100%
