System keeps crashing.. do I need a new graphics card?

noble2501 · 11-16-03, 08:04 AM

Hi, I'm using an ati radeon 7200 and the fan started making this odd noise like some cord would be touching it. But I check'd that possibility out. So do I need a new graphics card or can I get a new fan for it from somewhere?

Forget I asked.. I already ordered a new(er) card.. I'll come back if the problem won't go away with this one.

The answer is, yes you can get another vid card cooler. Might be hard to find an ezact replacement fan, but there are lots of aftermarket heatsink/fans available for vid cards.

Ok, I'll look into it and if I get it fixed I'll propaebly give it to my brother or something. I won't need it once my new card comes along.
