Title: Fan not spinning?
Post by: paudashlake 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?

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.
