First, check the fan connections to ensure they are properly connected to the motherboard or fan controller. Verify that the power supply is on and delivering power. If the issue persists, test with a different fan header or a known working fan to identify if the fan itself is faulty.
To clean the dust filters, first turn off and unplug your system. Remove the filters by gently sliding them out of their slots. Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust, and wash them with mild soapy water if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstalling.
