I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and recently the fan started making a weird noise, so I popped off the case and took a look inside, and the fan is actually turning quite slow but I guess the motor is grinding on it and hence the weird sound. So it's like the motor is not tight enough on the actual fan part. If I tap it, it catches again and spins faster, but doesn't last long and goes back to turning slow again. Anything I can do to fix it or will I have to send it in to ATI?

P.S. The card is only some months old, I don't even think I had it for a year.
