Somethings Wrong...

[joeb619]

Recently a weird noise been comin from my comp. So i opened it up to see and it seems that the fan thingy on the graphics card is making the noise. Anyone know what might be up with it? It sometimes stops if i tap the plastic bit on the graphics card.

"Fan thingy"? That would be called a fan.

Is it clogged up with dust? If not it could just be on it's way out. They don't last forever.

Could be. Havent really checked. Not really a computer person. I dont even think know how to get the graphics card out and put it back in

You unscrew the screw holding it in place then the opposite end of the card there is a small plastic latch, push that down and pull gently on the graphics card while resting your arm on the metal casing to make sure you don't getting static electricity in your computer and bobs your uncle who touches you...
