heyal,
i have a nvidia geforce4 ti46oo agp vid card in sons pc and lately the system has slowed to a crawl even with all maint. well i notice i'd been hearing this sound and was getting getting quite loud with the covers all on, thought time to open and clean everything.
i took panels off and checked fans while running and noticed the top fan wasn't running and was hotter than hell. i thought oh great but easy fix just replace. i took that one off and replaced it with new one but stuck on back panel instead of top one [he has habit of putting things on top of case]
ok turned pc back on and fan runs good ...<img>...oooo the noise is there well it's the video card fan..dayuuuuum... great i dont have an extra one of those. lol was trying to check it [dont laugh] using <img>mirror to see upside down and i must of blinked <img> lol finger hit fan, more in middle but noise stopped <img> for a few seconds but hey theres the verification needed.
So bottom line is how can i fix it? i've been searching but not finding the fix as yet.
Can anyone advise please? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
