my screen has been going black well i found out my video card fan is not spining it rubbing and making it stop. the fan still works if i move it passed the rub it will spin for a lil bit. sad part is its been doing it for a long time. what do i do. i cannot see where it rubs?\\
 
I don't understand... can you take a pic of this? Have you moved your case lately or touched anything internally that would cause it to rub/hit against something? Chances are, the fan is going bad. I would recommend an aftermarket cooler. From what I've read, it really sounds like your hsf is going bad.
 
thank you all. i fixed it goose so far. I used an exaust fan and zip tied it to the card lol works flawless i played cs for 2hrs just now not a problem. when i noticed it today it would burn my finger after the screen went black and would only play cs for 30-45mins.. now its not so hot warm to the touch im happy now thank you all.
 
your old fan can still be used just disassemble it and clean then put oil on the center bearing.
 
the 5700 fans suck, i had a 5700ultra from evga that died in like a year, tried rebuilding it but still would be noisey ass he||. I e-mailed evga and they don't sell fans for it (go figure)

what you are doing is probably the best thing for the card, it should be able to do 2d fine without a fan, mine did before i sold it.

Yeah, shot fans (bearings) usually wind up with a noisy wobble even if you can get it spinning again. I just salvage fans and chipset heatsinks from old motherboards.
