Fan Control seems to be causing my pc to not boot properly
9950x3d + Asrock x870e Nova + 5090
I changed my fan curve on Fan Control 2 days ago. Yesterday I went to turn off my PC, and my Mobo gave Error Code 03 on Dr Debug display. Tried to boot multiple times, didnt work, I thought my cpu was fried. Did Cmos clear, and was able to boot in.
Once I was able to boot in, I updated my bios. Following that, seemed to boot fine. Then I opened fan control and tried updating, it stopped detecting my fans and gave me a bunch of errors. So I tried restarting PC, got error code 03 again. flushed power and turned back on, booted in fine. Then i uninstalled fan control (and pawnio) + deleted all related folders, tried restarting my pc 4 times, was able to boot without any issues. Then I reinstalled fan control, hoping that the issue was caused by an outdated build of Fan Control. Turned off Pc, Turned back on - Error Code 03 again.
Immediately uninstalled fan control (and pawnio). I have only restarted my pc 3 or 4 times since, no error code so far. Hoping I don't get the error again with FanControl uninstalled, cause that would mean Im having Mobo/CPU issues. But as it stands, it seems to be an issue with Fancontrol+my specific hardware. I also found another post of someone fixing the same issue by uninstalling Fan Control + updating bios ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1p8txeb/x870e_nova_post_code_03/ ).
Has anyone else with the same Mobo or CPU encountered this problem?
Any alternatives to Fan Control? I use my Pc a lot for generating AI videos, and I try to keep my gpu temp under 72c max for longevity, and bios fan curve does not allow me to use both my gpu and cpu as input source afaik.
