    Fan not spinning?
    « on: December 29, 2008, 09:56:25 AM »
    Hello.  I have a HIS ATI Radeon 4650 graphics card and I'm haveing a problem with it.  When i turn my pc on, the fan does not start spinning, so I have to open the case and manually give it a push until it starts moving.  It is a real pain because if I forget to puch it, the gpu will over heat and my pc will shut down.  What do I do?
    Hinkle Finkle Dinkle Doo.  AMEN!!

    Sounds like the fan may be failing, or it's not getting enough power.

      well, it was working fine the first few days, then all of the sudden when I turned my pc on, the fan started honking.-literally.  So that is when it alll started.  When that happened, I had to open the case and had to push the fan in the middle a few times to make it stop.

        why would you worry about his comments?  Nah, he is my best friend.  He doesn't like my pc because I have amd.  He's just trying to have fun.
