Hey, I have a windows vista. With 2 gigs of ram. i got a AMD athlon 64 x2 duel-core processor 4000+ 2.1 ghz. I have a BFG nVidia Geforce 9500 GT. it was upgraded from a onboard 6150 LE Nvida Geforce. I have had my 9500 for almost a year and The fan has gone out on me. When ever i play any kind of games the tempertor rises significantly and this is what happens. The monitor goes on standby and the computer stays on. Iam forced to restart after that. When i play around with the fan wile my pc is open it will start to power up for about 2-3 seconds then stop again.
My question is Can i fix this problem without spending money on a new video card?
Can i take a fan off a radion 9550 ATI 256 MB Vram and put it on my Video card some how??
Thx for reading this.
