My NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240 have been working fine for a long time and I've never had any serious issues regarding heat. Yesterday, my fans started making wierd noises and as I checked the temperatures, my graphic card was above 90 degrees celcius. I've tried removing all the dust and using the computer with the sidepanel off, but now the heat of my graphic card starts to rise as soon as my computer is turned on. When the graphic card gets to the nineties, my fan starts making these wierd noises. http://i.imgur.com/3tI4FeG.png are my temperatures when Chrome is the only thing I have open. Is this a problem with my graphic card or with my fans / air flow? Thank you.
