Help - Broken Fan on GeForce

[vakero]

I have a dilemma with my computer, and I'm pretty sure it's being caused by my video card. There are transparent, dark bands going across my monitor horizontally. I thought it might be my monitor, but I plugged in another one and it does the same thing. So I took my video card out today, and the fan is broken off and dangling by wires. It's an Asus 6800 GeForce 256 DDR. I'm assuming the card is overheating, when I touched it, it was as hot as hell. What would any of you suggest I do? Can the fan be fixed, or do I need a new card? Or is this even the problem, because even when the card is cold, just having started my computer, the dark bands appear. Thanks.

You need a new videocard. The one you have right is probably fried.

I dont know what could be causing the lines across your monitor

But you could always buy a new fan for your video card and see if that fixes the problem.

try running games with the case open and a house fan blowing into the case (mostly towards the video card) and see if the lines go away.. if it does then buy a new fan for your card
