Hi,
I've run this tool before and I've run it again now, both times it has come back saying "No Problem Found".
When you say it is likely software related, this issue started the very first moment I turned on the PC after a complete factory reset. In which case this is an issue with the preloaded PC software. I have uninstalled a few pieces of what I considered bloatware since then. Much of the remaining software looks far too integrated in the system and I have suspicions that some PC functionality will be crippled if I try to uninstall them.
I can try removing each piece of preinstalled software to see if the problem disappears? However I have encountered issues in the past when removing vendor Bloatware. On an old Toshiba laptop I was working on, proprietary vendor drivers were uninstalled when certain seemingly unrelated and unnecessary programs were removed.
My top suspect would be Armory Crate. However I have seen several posts where removing Armory Crate, makes certain features stop working. For example:
https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/20220/how-to-fix-this-i-uninstalled-armoury-crate-from-asus-t... and as seen above reinstalling doesn't undo the damage. Additionally it is integrated into the BIOS/UEFI, further deepening my suspicion that this will cause me headaches if I attempt to remove it.
My other suspect would be MyASUS, AFAIK it controls the fans on some other ASUS laptops. However it seems like on my laptop Armory Crate has been given control over the fans instead.
If it could be software related do you have a suggestions on what I can try to remove/reinstall?
As an addendum, I am noticing a pattern. The issue seems to only happen once in a 24H period. First time I boot up the PC every day within the first 2-3 min it will spin up the fans. So then every day I shut it down and turn it back on again. After which the problem does not return till the next day. So there seems to be some schedule that this operates according to.
