Ok so I have an old-ass computer. Dell XPS Gen 3 from December 2004. Several months ago I started hearing a alot of noise from a fan, and eventually figured out that it was the fan on my graphics card (which is an ATI Radeon X800 XT). Then it (the fan) seemed to start working fine again for a few months, but in the last couple days it struggles to start turning when I turn on the comp, pants along for a minute or two, then quits altogether.
Should I be worried about the graphics processor overheating? I definitely don't have money for a new graphics card right now, let alone a whole new computer. I don't do any gaming, 3D rendering, or anything else that would be considered graphics-intensive. My monitor is an Acer X193w (a 19" widescreen LCD)
