The small fan on my Shuttle kt266a motherboard sounds like a fricken delta fan
Their definitely must be something wrong with it......it's gotten worse every day. A few days ago it used to be ultra quiet but very seldomly it would become louder for a minute or two, then die down. I popped off the case while the computer was running, and when it became louder I couldn't notice any increase or decrease in the fan speed, would be pretty hard to tell anyway though. Today it's progressed to bring me a constant headache, it remains about as loud as my two case fans now Every ten seconds or so the sound will increase until it sounds like a Delta for a few seconds then die down a little, it's VERY annoying. Another very strange thing that happened is that my computer automatically rebooted for no reason whatsoever today. Once while I was dialing my ISP and another time while I was installing a game. Both of those times the fan was acting up a little more than usual.........I find it hard to believe that this fan is somehow involved, because wouldn't the motherboard be fine and dandy without this fan? It just strikes me because my computer never rebooted like that before, and both times it did it the fan was acting up more than usual....very freaky indeed. Could it be my power supply is going bad or something? My video card has been unstable too, no matter which drivers I used for my Leadtek Geforce3 Ti200, I did a reformat and it had no effect, still get crash to desktop in games and "failure to initialize 3d accelerator" in 3Dmark. Anyone ever experience this before or have any suggestions? TIA.
