To do so, put your ear to the case of the CPU. If you hear a humming noise, it almost certainly indicates that the fan is running. If, for some reason, the fan is not running, your CPU will overheat and the computer will refuse to turn on until the CPU cools down.If you smell acrid smoke, some component of your computer (mostly your motherboard) might have burnt out.It will need to be replaced.f, for some reason, the fan is not running, your CPU will overheat and the computer will refuse to turn on until the CPU cools down.

I bet it is your cpu fan speeding up due to a increase in heat. I am not sure if this is likely but I think the new video card might have stressed your power supply and your power supply is now causing your computer to over heat. Just a guess.The cpu fan will normally rev up when your cpu is getting hot.he problem would be identifying which fan causes the noise. Either CPU fan, chassis fan or even the power supply fan. If I were you I would open my case side door and see what's inside, maybe snap a picture. and then first try to disconnect the chassis fan, since it's the easiest and cheapest to replace.
