JensenPark Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Was having problems lately where as soon as I started the game my whole computer crashed "oh, that's why the game has been so fun...that twit JP hasn't been around" you all are no doubt thinking. So I brought the 'puter down to the local geek place and 'lo and behold they told me it was the stock fan attached to the ATI 9800 I have. "piece of shit" they said. Great card, lousy fan. $20 and I have a new fan installed. Hadn't heard of this issue before... Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 yeah mate - I have heard they sometimes came loose- aftermarket fans were used by those who overclocked as stock was borderline for this use. might have got away with just cleaning it well but $20 isnt much for peace of mind- check that power supply to card is fitted correctly and if possible put it on a single lead from power supply unit - dont branch any other connections - this helps.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted April 11, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Had the same with a 9600 card, fan failed. Got worse when I attempted to fit an after market fan, stupidly got brutal(ish) with it and the card never worked again. Think I cracked the GPU pressing the fan locating pins in place....doh!
