Okay, quick question to those who know a little more about the subject than I may know. My computer has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 with 1.5 GB Ram, yadda yadda yadda. First off, the card sucks, anyone looking at getting it; don't. Second, the fan is apparently either dead, or has a driver glitch and has made it stop working. Sometimes, after coming out of hibernation, the GPU temp will rise to over 100°C according to Speedfan, and the display will be instantly turned off, forcing me to restart my computer to turn the displays back on. Right now, I have the side panel off of my computer, with a large fan sitting beside it blowing at the case, and the blasted GPU idles at 60°C, and while playing anything more graphically advanced than minesweaper, it instantly jumps to 70° or 80°. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing said issue, preferably without having to buy a new card (Granted, I already have decided to buy one, but I'm waiting until later to get it, mid-September, most likely)?
I have tried not using my second monitor; however, that only drops the temperature a few °s, so I see no valid reason to do that when I use both monitors for work, quite often.
Tried updating drivers for the card?
you have the side off but youre not sure whether or not the fan is working?
look at it?

he clearly says its not working, he just doesn't know if it's broken or it's a software problem.

I have updated the drivers for Windows 7; they didn't work. I reverted to system defaults, the fan didn't work, so I updated again back to current drivers, nothing.
In Linux, the fan works perfectly fine, and idles at 12% and I can look down and see the fans are infact moving.
speedfan might be ovverriding it. Try booting in safemode.

that's odd, try forcing it through an overclocking application like MSI Afterburner or Rivatuner.
