Graphics card problem
I have just sourced a cheap Hercules GeForce3 Ti500 card from someone.
The person who I got it from said it was 2nd user but he hadn't had time to test it. When I used it in my machine there would be several display problems and distortions, not responding at all on one occasion. The display became worse after several boots so I took the card out to have a look. On inspection I quickly found out that the fan had seized up and wouldn't roatate. Are the problems I described a typical of over heating of the card or is there most probably some other fault? The rest of the card seems to be in good working order with no physical damage. If I do need a new fan what options do I have? The Thermaltake crystal orb cooler looks suitable but im worried its a bit OTT for me. It looks like it would generate a lot of noise and takes up the PCI slot space beneath it. Would it be possible to get another matching fan for this card or is there a slower graphics card fan I can purchase for this? Thanks for any help. |
