I know that I have a lot to be thankful for, and that I really am not very badly off, but damn today has been the worst in a while..

First my video card fan is fried, then I get an e-mail saying to check my OSAP account (Ontario Student Assitant Program - student loans) and they've reduced my funding by 2 thousand dollars for no apparent reason, then messenger won't sign in so I can complain to others and I have heart burn from eating nibs

NOno it's just the fan that's dying, it's still running, but not for very long I bet

Nothing's jamming it, it will just spin up, stall, and then spin up, stall etc over and over, and it's really really LOUD

I'm leaving school in early december for home, they're going to replace the card as it's under warranty, but still it is annoying to listen to, I'm wondering if the card will just die if I unplug the fan or if it will just void the warranty..

Edit- And yes the fan idea is a good one I will do that in a few
