Where to plug in fans on AMD 760g motherboard

Do you know the exact motherboard product name/number? "AMD 760G" is a chipset, which wouldn't get you far. Usually product numbers look like "MSI-760GM-P23", for example. If you can't find the product number, try looking for headers like this

Just looked at the manual for your mobo, and it seems you only have one case fan port. While there are splitters for fans, it probably is not a good idea for you to connect two LED Fans to one port. To solve this you could connect an external fan splitter such as this NZXT splitter, which uses external power from the power supply to power the fans while still allowing control of fan speed through the motherboard.

That motherboard has only two fan headers:

* CPU_FAN near the cpu socket (to power cpu cooler fan)  and

* SYS_FAN near the big wide atx power connector for case fans

You could probably buy a fan splitter which will let you connect both fans to the SYS_FAN header.

One last thing, the fan is on but the LEDs are not :L 

They flashed on for a second but went off when I started my computer

Is the fan spinning? If it isn't, try turning it on in the BIOS. If that doesn't work, try the other fan to see if it is a burnt out LED. Although I doubt that is the case.

The fan is spinning and when I turm my computer on it flashes on for a second and then goes off, but the fan keeps spinning

So this occurs every time the computer starts? What brand and model of fan is it?
