• GPU fan problem

Great, another problem, well, for the last few weeks I'm having problems with my pc, which is rebooting randomly while playing games. I found out it was a graphics card issue since the graphics card was really really hot after it had rebooted. Today I found out it's a fan issue, the fan doesn't seem to rotate very well. It goes waay to slow. This is basically what happens after I boot my pc pc on --> gpu fan is ok, rotating at a good speed, good temp. after 5 min --> fan is decent, a bit slower, temps are alright after 15 min --> fan goes slow, really slow, temp goes at around 50-60deg celcius. When playing a game --> fan goes slow, temp goes at around 90 deg celsius. What I do, when the temp is really going high, is stop the fan manually with my hand, and then let it go. It goes fine for a minute or so, and the temp falls down from 90 deg to 70 deg, but then it goes slow again, and you can imagine I don't want to do that every minute. So it's a MSI Radeon HD 4650 It's this one exactly: [img]http://www.cpusolutions.com/mm8004744CPU/Images/VCA4650MSI1GB.jpg[/img] I've got a intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz, a psu I bought today, a coolermaster something 390watt (this problem also happened before I got my new psu), 2gigs of ram and a 1tb hdd if it matters. Also, the CPU fan(+temp) are perfectly fine, it's only the gpu fan. Any suggestions?
I'd be willing to bet that the computer isn't getting enough power. I wouldn't run a rig like that on anything below a 500W PSU.
Why would everything work fine (including cpu and psu fans) except for a little gpu fan. Plus it worked fine for a half a year or something. It started to be like this since last week.

I don't have the receipt anymore :(
