It could be that the fan died...

In that case you need to find out the card model and find either a new hs, and fan or just a fan and erplace the old one.

Try newegg.com, im sure they have somthing.

Just get a VGA silencer. Make sure that you are using a Ti version of the the GeForce 4 (Ti4600, 4400, 4200). They are very nice and keep things extremely cool. Have you tried taking apart your old fan setup and cleaning out the dust?? Could be clogged.

Its possible, but not too likely. I would say that the bushings are just bad and it is time to invest in a new fan or a new card.
