the Fans on my gfx card (asus9800xt) have been unfunctional for over 2 months now.

Last night a strange noise started from my PC.. so I went to investigate, heh.. my Fans came back to life!!! isnt that great!! :D trying to use the tiny bit logic in my lil head Im trying to figure out why this happened..

I mean can fans be resurected? whats the bibles stance on this? what the F**k is going on? should I ask the Vatican? (jk)


anyways YAY! no more lil white dots on my telescreen when I play SL for more than fifteen seconds!! I can finally start playing HL Episode 1!! I can put the side panel back on!! yay!!!!

Richie.

Some dust probably got dislodged. (Assuming you didnt hit it with compressed air beforehand. Good for you :)

If you want to play it safe, you could always get an after-market fan for it.

I think this just proves that there is life after death. Just in case I would christen the computer with holy water and say a couple of sermons.

Actually the dead mouse that was blocking them finally rotted enough that it fell to pieces at the bottom of your comp. :eek:

I really should do.. but it boggles my mind how fans can go on and off like this, I did remove the card back a few weeks ago and cleaned the fans as best I could.. they could turn without any feeling of being choked up with dust..
Funny enough is the second card this has happened to.. RMA'd the last one I had (same model) and they returned me this one. but was long before the same thing was happening.. Im annoyed because they have stopped again!! it seems its only when I actually need the fans on (in game/games) that they stop.. I just logged out of SL now cause my screen started getting th white dots of doom.. and I just noticed as I type this they came back on.. annoying!!
