    About 3 months ago my graphics card fan needed to be replaced due to it making very loud revving noises. At first the problem was intermittent but it eventually became constant. After I got it replaced, literally two days later the new fan started doing the same thing. It only does it once in a while now, and if it starts doing it, I immediately shut down and 9 times out of 10 when I start up again, it stops. Other than that, I'm noticing a very faint rattling noise coming from the fan...almost sounds like an old hard drive reading.

    Is it more likely that something else is causing the fans to mess up or that I just got two bad fans in a row? I really don't wanna send this thing in for service. I really need the computer for school and last time I was without it for close to a month..also this isn't covered under warranty anymore.

    I'm pretty sure Ive got that latest BIOS installed, however the problem has occurred across different versions of BIOS.

    I would recommend sending it back and asking for a new motherboard. Since it seems very unlikely you would get 2 bad fans in a row.
