One of the fans on my GPU starts to make a clicking sound whenever I play video games. It's been going on for months. Information inside.

So, I've had this problem for months. When I play any video game or, recently, at random times, one of the fans of my GPU makes a really loud and obnoxious clicking/rattling sound.

After removing all the dust and looking at the fan, this is what I've noticed:

  1. The fan does not seem to spin as fast as the other fans.

  2. When I turn off the PC, that fan stops MUCH quicker than the other GPU fan or my CPU fan.

  3. There are no wires touching the fan or the entirety of the GPU itself.

  4. The plastic of the casing does not seem to be vibrating or rattling.

  5. When I manually make the fan speed above 45%, the rattling starts.

What can I do?

Thanks.

Edit:

From the Live Chat on the right, someone said it's likely the ball bearing of the fan, which makes sense. So far this is my best bet. If anyone has any other ideas that would be appreciated too, thanks.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
