Hi, i woke up this morning and turned my computer on to be greeted with what sounded like a grinding noise. I immediately turned it off and took the case side off to see if i could find the source. So when i turned it back on i thought it might have been the gfx card and there was some vibration coming from it. I think it must be the cooler fan. It has stoped doing it when in windows but i dont like the idea i could turn on my comp and the gfx card wont be working! Anyone else had probs with the coolers? Any suggestions of what to do?

Just send a webnote requesting an RMA, then when you get the details send the card back, only takes about 7-10 days to get your replacement, could be a bit less, just depends on how busy they are.
Roughly a week. Jump on a famous auction site and get something like a geforce 6200 that can be add for less than a tenner on such auction sites. nice backup card, wont run games but its always good to have a backup card anyway.
That's a good idea, no harm in having a backup card
