What so they spin up and then stop? How are they connected, molex or via a 3 pin to the mobo. Try swapping the connectors.

Lol have a look inside the case. If connected to the motherboard it may be temperature controlled.

It's designed to do that- it will come on when the temperature goes above a certain level

I never though the fans would stop totally, the temps must be way low for that to happen :confused:
