Motherboard fan running before power on

[utzlol]

Hi, i have a h81m-k motherboard. It wont turn on. And i realize the motherboard fan is running before power on. I check the +12V on fan socket (before power on), it has 5Vsb from psu and 12V cpu vrm also have 5Vsb and maybe that cause my motherboard immediately turn off after power on. Any idea how that can happen?

?
so your psu is putting 5v on the 12v rail in standby?
or your board is?

The motherboard do that. I already cut the 12V cable from psu but the 5Vsb on 12V rail still appeared (It means the problem on the motherboard)

Re: Motherboard fan running before power on

so what do you see if you check between the 5v-standby and 12v pins with a meter set for resistance, and diode-mode?
try with leads both ways.

I realized the different resistance between before power atx plug and after power atx plug (but the psu seems normal, cuz i already try with different board and that normal)

After atx plug
GND - 12V (88 ohm)
GND - 5V (86 ohm)
12V - 5V (173 ohm)

Before atx plug
GND - 12V (113 ohm)
GND - 5V (742 ohm)
12V - 5V (858 ohm)

What is ich fan?

I mean that happened to the all motherboard 4pin socket. It appeared 5Vsb on the 12V fan voltage, that cause the fan spinning before power on. I think because of that, the 5Vsb short to the 12V rail. And no idea which the component cause that.

Re: Motherboard fan running before power on

Can we have some pictures of the setup and the PSU?
What brand and model is the power supply?
Does the PSU fan run when connected to the motherboard?
- If yes, then disconnect PSU from the motherboard and plug PSU into the wall. Does the PSU fan spin now? Does it has 5VSB showing 5V, but all other outputs zero (or close)?

Also, what's the history on the PC you are troubleshooting? Is it yours or someone else's? Do you know when or what (last use) caused the PC to malfunction?

Ah my bad. The motherboard had a failure bios that make it turn on/off repeatedly
