My Video card fan tries to spin but cant

I know what you mean i try to break dance and i only move a lil bit.

Take a gun, shoot it dead man!

I think your fan is dead, buy a new VGA cooler,......but that's risky because a new VGA cooler would cost about as much as a new 7900GS
But your 7900 could be dead...

Or it could b the power going to the card???

Im guessing the standard vga connection works?

If your saying just the 7900 gives no signal

Personally i think problems point to

PSU & GFX card.


But if you're saying the 7900 & standard 15 pin vga connector both give no signal then your computer's f**. i would take the card out. connect to the standard vga and see if you can restart & enter the Bios, if you can do that then you're saved.

Thats all good but....from the little info this dude supplied us with it sounds to me like his computer is f* ed, if that is the cae in my eyes that is No1 priority,,, to get the computer running without the 7900.

Hopefully he doesn't have a vga'less motherboard

Ok now were talking.

i would check your BIOS settings for the card save exit, turn off, connect the card , check power connection to
the card & then reboot.

(probably wouldn't do much but best to do this anyway)

You would kick yourself if its something small.

Also bend the power cable whilst its running incase it's just caused by a badly connected inner wire.

If no improvement then yea dude a perfect excuse to buy a new card, or get it RMA'd! Who made ur card & how long ago did u get it?

Dude you mite be able to extend the warranty from 2 yrs to 10 years

but if its less then 24 months they will sort it out anyway

But let me tell you something.... if they say no to a replacement

argue like a modaf**a! Tell them you've been buying their products for (how ever many years they've been running". And they will give in trust me.

The last thing they want is some upset customer making constant long calls.

Then when they send you a new/ refurb card, sell that b*tch on ebay and upgrade!!!

Excuse my spanglish

With that in mind

You can buy faulty GFX cards on ebay for dirt. Call EVGA and argue with them and get a free gfx card when yous end it back.

Ya know, Just saying, im not encouraging this behavior lol
