Ok, I’m starting to hate technology. Last night when I was playing Everquest 2 I noticed that my computer was making a lot of noise. I decided to shut it down until I felt like trying to figure out what was wrong. Today, the first thing I did was clean the fans, but that didn’t help. During the day I remembered that my previous video card starting making a similar noise after I had it for a while. That was when I decided to buy my current card. I took my current card out and started the computer without a card and it is SOOO quiet. I hope that it actually was starting without the card and the silence didn’t cause me to mis-diagnose the source of the noise. The card that I have now has always been a little loud, but not this loud. I blew as much dirt as I could off of it, but that didn’t help. There may not be anything wrong with the card, but the noise is annoying.

I miss having Kris around with his 20,000 spare parts. I could just pop in a spare video card and see if everything is ok. I guess I’ll just buy a new one and hope the problem is solved. I was thinking about getting a new card anyway.
