I'd start at the beginning, open your computer case and examine your video-card. Tell me, was it the one that came with the computer, or did you buy this one and replace the original video-card?

First up, don't tap so bloody hard next time. :p

Okay, easiest thing to do is open the box, unplug everything, give the bits a nice blast of compressed air, then plug everything back in.

Give Rhombus's advice a try, also try booting it up with the video card unplugged. What where the noises like? Was it like the fan just going crazy fast or something else?
