Graphics Card Problems

My graphics card malfunctioned a few months ago. I called support, followed their tests and instructions, but still I get artifacts and other graphical glitches in my 3D programs. The issues usually start after the card has been running for some time. I also have an odd noise that seems to be emanating from the card. I simply want a replacement sent as soon as possible, as my school work involves rendering 3D images. Can anyone help me solve this issue?

You'll need to post a great deal of details about your machine.  If you want to make that easy, go to Lavalys and install Everest Home v2.20 .  Run the Full Report Wizard, save it as HTML, and post what you feel are the pertinent sections on your system (processor, motherboard, graphics card etc)

Sounds like the fan on the graphics card is failing. You'll have to contact Dell Tech Support for a replacement. This forum is only for users helping othe users. Aside from Moderators, Dell doesn't read the forums.
