hello i just noticed that my gpy fans spin once i turn my pc on but turn off once its booted up and the only way to turn them back on is if i have msi afterburner open. im just curious is this some setting in my bios to try save power ? or is it a bug with windows or the driver or what? please let me know

Many modern graphics cards will shut down their fans until they reach a certain temperature to keep silent and increase life span. The fans spin on start up due to the GPU's BIOS not having started yet.

This is normal, when the gpu isn't being used or is under x degrees, the fans stay off.
