Hi,
For the past few days the fan on my Radeon HD 6850 graphics card has been kicked into overdrive and is loud as hell. It only ever used to reach that level on rare occasions of high CPU usage as you'd expect, but a few days ago when it did just that, it never came back down.
I dusted out the GPU fan but it's still occuring from the moment I turn the computer on and never goes down until it's off (or in sleep mode where every fan turns off).
I think the temperature on the GPU is much lower than usual at least with the fan going nuts at all times, but obviously I don't want that. Thanks in advance for any help, and let me know if you need more information!
