Some epic noob walkthrough would rock... forgive me, for I am more of a software guy...
Recently my desktop started shutting off for no reason. I found it to be that the Video card was overheating.
Exhibit A:
So I took it out, blew off/out the dust and put it back in the computer. Then, I noticed a noise on startup coming from the gpu.
Exhibit B: Turn up your speakers a little.
As you can see, the fan just died.
I've identified the screws that would need to come off in order to get the fan and the rest of the front off:
What I need is, some tips, tricks, some kind of walkthrough on what I would need to do in order to get this thing back online. How would I replace the fan motor? Can I even buy one? I couldn't find anything online but then again I haven't looked at the motor and wouldn't know where to.
All useful posts will definitely get some rep.
Thanks in Advance
