    hi there.
    I have a old philips freevets ls2400. recently the graphics card has been making some weird sounds. anyone any ideas why its doing that? If i need a new graphics card would a ati radeon x1300 be ok? I spoken to someone and they said i need a PCI-E slot and im unsure if i have one.

    Im a big noob when it comes to computers. Took me ages to attach my pc to my tv lol.

    Thanks Chris

    If your graphics card is making noises it is probably the fan. You can buy an aftermarket GPU fan and fix the issue.

    It depends on your mobo. I'm sure the x1300 was made for both pic-ex and AGP, so you need to find out what type of cideo card slot you have got.

    A place to get a GPU would depend on where you live.
