Fan stopped on FPGA

Hi, :confused: I have downloaded a programming file into my DSP Stratix EP2S180 and the fan above the stratix stopped. Any idea ? thanks

You are probably over-drawing the power supply. Double check that unused pins are set to tristate, not GND. There is an assignment in the GUI, or you can steal it from the QSF file for an existing project. Double check that you aren't in IO contention with an external device.

I do that all the time.
