Video Card Fan Speed

[Bluecanoe]

When I start my computer, the video card fan usually ramps up to high speed then shifts to normal speed after a few seconds. Lately the fan stays stuck in high speed until I completely shut down the system and restart. Upon restart, the fan works normally.

Anyone have a similar problem or suggestions for fix?

The card is a Sapphire Radeon X1950XT 256MB. I built this machine in March and it has worked fine till now.

Thanks.

this happened when i had a failed over clock once. try holding the left shift key on reboot... might be the left ctrl key, i can't remember.

anyhow this should reset your ati card.
