I was playing skyrim and the screen turned black with a stuttering buzz sound, then 5 seconds later the monitor said no signal. I hit the reset button on the tower and I heard about 8 beeps. I held down the power button to cut it off and a minute later started it back up. Everything is fine apart from firefox looking different. It's weird, the addition tab button isn't a plus sign anymore and when I click on the scroll bar on the right it glows blue.
Anyway, the video card I have runs very hard, 100% fan almost constantly in game and hovers in the 80's. I clean it out regularly so I'm not sure why the fan isn't working like it used to. Maybe it needs thermal grease reapplied. Anyway, I do need a new card but cash is sparse.
To give you an idea, I have a box fan, 20 inches laying flat blowing air into the case and the video card is running at 44% fan speed and idling at 47c.
