Hi Mo again Just mulling this over, if my power supply was to fail or, if my power supply was to fail, it wouldn't stop the fans working, I assume it would stop working altogether, it runs my drives ok so I assume it is ok, what else would stop the fans from working? It is strange. Is it easy to up-grade the bios?
