Graphics Problem

At least you have narrowed it down to a hardware problem. So it sounds like it is one of two things; your video card is overheating(judging by the fan), or like you said your video card is dieing. If you are giving up on the card and are going to toss it anyways, try underclocking it.

I would be all for trying that, only firstly my computer can only get half way through a windows xp install before it freezes and at this point it wont even turn on anymore. I took a look inside and it is the graphics card fan that is the one going crazy.

The question I'm down to, is would the graphics card over heating cause my whole computer to freeze up/not turn on?
