Ok, as some of you may know i posted on here enquiring about buying a new fan. So i order this fan, it arrives, i try to fit it, and find that its the wrong model, which is entirely my fault. So i put the old fan back in and the pc won't start.

I take it to a small pc shop in a nearby town, and the guy manages to get it working with the old fan. I bring it home, and notice that loads of air is being blown out of the side of the pc...the idiot put the fan back in, the wrong way around.

So i take it out and flip it over. The pc starts, and i hear some weird really high pitch squeeks. Usually, when i turn my PC on, the fan blasts out for about 5 secs, then turns off. But now, the fan stays like that all the time...right now, it's really loud. This is'nt normal.

It does'nt end there.

I run WoW, and it starts to jump and play slowly. I have a Geforce 7800 GTX and so i always play it on high without any probs. So now its running all jumpy. I start to worry now and think "O Shit!"

CoD2 i thought was ok, but at certain areas it goes real slow.

Please be honest.

Why is this happening? (graphics card and fan)

Could it be that i've damaged something when trying to fit the fan??

I have tried new drivers for g card but still no luck.

Worst case scenario?? -- how much is it gona cost too?

Thanks,

HallifaX.

P/S! Loading times for games are slower tooooooooooooooooo.
