Basically i turned on my computer one day and it started to make a lot of noise. At first i couldnt work out wer it was coming from. After a while i worked out it was defo coming from my graphics card. I cant understand why it all of a sudden has started to do this. Can anyone help me out at it is driving me mad!!! :x

try cleanining the fan out. If that doesnt work try to see if you can get a drop of plastic safe oil on the motor bearings.
If that fails and the card is out of warrenty, get a new heatsink like a Zallman or something to replace the bad stock cooler.
If you can get the fan out then just replace it instead of the whole heatsink.
