yesterday my video card started making wierd noices .__. so i took it out and cleaned it (removed dust and such, no washing with water :P) put it back and the sound's still there, but it goes away if i poke it o_O so i guess somethings a bit loose... anyone know something i could do about this? opening the computer to poke it everytime i turn it on isn't something enjoy doing.

take the fan off and there is usually a sticker covering the internals of the fan (follow the wires) see if the nut is lose and stick a bit of grease in there.

most fans of this type are of a common size. you can purchase a chipset/vga cooler fan very cheap. replace it.
