I am guessing your power supply doesn't have enough power for the fan on the video card. You may need a power supply upgrade. To be on the safe side if it used to work try cleaning the graphics card for maximum cooling. If the card is clean I would try a power supply first (less expensive). If the cleaning and power supply replacement don't do it you may have problems with the graphics card but that would be the last thing I replaced. Ralph
