Humming Cooling Fan
The cooling fan on my video card is humming. I tried cleaning it with those cans of CO2 and vacuming out the inside of the computer. It only hums when I am playing an online game and even then the humming comes on for about 3-5 minutes then fades away. I'm afraid it's about to quit working. I've only had this computer for about a year maybe a little less. Is the fan really going out or is it something else?
Thanks, Amion |

The sis 760 is a chipset on a motherboard, but it is also the chipset of the card. I have that same card.
