Helped a little, today it got worse and then the color shifted off scale, no adjustment helped.  when I had taken the computer out of town for a couple of months it had gotten really dirty from where I had to use it, I had blown it out but I had not pulled the vid card to clean.  Got a flashlight turned on computer and the damn fan wasn't moving, cheap POS ati 9600GT from england, I had bought the card over 3 years ago for it's superior chipset, small die, less heat characteristics Got the fan pulled, cleaned the goop from chipset with lighter fluid, toothpick and q tip, got the fan off heatsink assembly, durn phillips screws were too small to even see, pulled a plastic flap up and filled the bearing well with wd40 washed the blades with q tip and water, zipped it back together after rotating fan blades and blotting up excess wd40, applied geil cu paste crossed my fingers and held my breath     -------------------- Chewy

Congratulations on the repair. Myself, I would have been thinking along the lines of blowing it out via a trebuchet, and going for the distance record while at it
