How smoothly moving should your video card fan move?

Question

And should it move while the computer is running?

Our screen is wavey and we are having issues booting up, the screen will get all distoreded and it will load to the Windows Error Recovery Windows Cannot start but you cant read the screen, it is all scrambed and very pixely, as soon as you press enter the PC will shut down.

I have reseated the ram cleaned all the fans, tried booting with only the harddrive attached, reseated all the power cables, reseated the video card, disconnected everything but power/video. The only thing that worked was to just let the computer sit at the Window Error Recovery for about 15 min then rebotted and the page appeared normally, but still wavy and the video card fan is not moving.

Answer 1

CRT or LCD monitor?



In that case, the graphics card is most likely the problem, borrow one from another pc and find out

Answer 2

Common problem when you open a PC at home in a non-static free environment. I am afraid it will just get worse, soon the PC will start restarting randomly, especially when playing games or other resource intensive programs. Sometime replacing the video card helps, sometimes not. Almost always cooling will improve the situation, but rarely ever fixes it entirely.



It can be any component in the video line or data path. In other words: RAM, mobo, CPU (I have never seen it be the CPU, but in theory it can be), video card and HDD.



Basically you are getting corruption in the path, we have no sure-fire solution yet. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is the risk when opening a PC outside a clean room.
