I've had a Dell Dimension DIMC521 running Windows XP for several years. A few years ago the graphics card stopped working and we had to buy a new one that had a fan. In the past few months the computer started making this really loud humming noise whenever its on. I opened up the case and the noise seems to be coming from the graphics card. If I press on the fan it stops spinning and the noise stops as well. According to the computer, the card is an ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 series. If anyone knows whats wrong or how to fix this please let me know. There are three screws holding the fan onto it's enclosure. Thanks.
