I have a leadtek ti 4400 (old i know). It has two smallish fans on it as well as a large allumium heatsink on both sides of the card. My problem is one of the fans died. It had been making noise so i knew it would but being a n00b I sorta ingored it, I cleared away the filter in hopes that it would fix the problem. But now it appears the fan has pretty much died. It is still going around but not enough to produce air flow.
I found this out by having ut2k3 crash is a very odd way on me. My radar (the game i play uses radar) was all over the place and the trail behind the ball was missing. and I couldn't talk. I also couldn't press esc to get out of it (so i just switched to the desktop). Ut2k3 woudln't open agian becuase of an run time error
then after restarting my computer and trying the same map again everything was normal except the walls was black instead of grey like they are supposed to be
So i have two questions:
1. can i get a replacement fan for my card. and if so how do i know what kind to get and where can i get it?
2. did i do permant damage to my card? is there any way to know, i am afraid to play any game for very long becuase i don't want my card to die on me (i have underclocked it about 10 mhz on both memory and vpu) but aside from a run time error the first time i played ut2k3 again everything is working alright. Should i start saving up for another card (not taking into acount the fact that my card is old)
I know this is a REALLY n00b fan question but i hope someone will help me because i dont know enough to fix this problem myself...i just joined a new clan so it would be sorta nice to be able to play with them... oo well.
