I've been having problems with my gfx card in the last few weeks. Fan spinning up and down every few minutes, even when the computer is idle. Normally I just use standard inexpensive cards rather than on-board as I'm not a gamer (on pc anyway).
I ran speedfan utility and idle temp for gfx card was 59c whilst cpu was only 41c. I bought a 2nd hand card from my friend, a Cycle R6850, this card has a massive fan and requires it's own power feed.
Today the computer has been making louder noises and running speedfan app, shows that this card's idle temp is 53c.
Any ideas what can be causing this? Computer is reasonably well ventilated as shown by CPU temp. Also PSU is a 500w, so more than capable of running this card and an i3 processor.
