Noisy start - Geforce fan screams at startup IT Depot Carlton Victoria Melbourne Australia
Hi,
Wondering whether some of you can help? I have an ASUS Geforce4Ti4800 card;
replacing a gf2mx on a perfectly working PIII800 system 500mbRAM, ASUS
motherboard, etc.
When I first turn on my computer in the morning (or after the computer has
been switched off for over 50 minutes) - the ASUS Geforce4Ti fan howls like
crazy for a few minutes. It sounds like a motorcycle engine being revved at
6000rpm without oil.
It quietens down after awhile - I checked and the fan is still working.
I returned it to the shop IT Depot, Carlton, Victoria and they sent it back
to ASUS Australia to get it fixed - they (claimed to have) replaced the fan.
I fixed it back to the computer - but the problem is still there. I
contacted ASUS when the problem first occured but they have NOT replied
back.
The fan doesn't scream or howl if the computer has only been turned off for
5 - 15 minutes or so though.
Is there a problem?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
JM
