Well, That sucks, was just told that the brand new video card that I was advised to buy, as a replacement for my old one is PCI-3, and my MB is PCI-2.
So I have a R9 290, that I cant use till I upgrade my MB

I had a friend who had the same problem, his CPU fan worked as well. Turned out to be the heatsink not seated completely flat on the CPU... but if you temps are ok, run an aggressive memory check and disk scan. It was doing the same thing with your old GPU too?

To me is seems more like a CPU cooling issue.

Turns out, Its my case. My card works well in an older dual core mb, where as mine is a quad core.
So I am currently saving to get a new case

damn, that sucks I live by myself, so I have to pay all the bills. If I'm lucky I have $5.00 a week to save. Though most of the time it works out (after all the bills have been paid, and I've got my food for the week) to be -$5.00, or if I'm really unlucky -$10.00

The only difference is bandwidth, and if you have a GPU with more than 2GB it won't make any difference that you can actually notice. It's nothing to be concerned about replacing a MB over.

The nVidia drivers are what causes you the problem. Remove them like Gilbert said and then install the card.

I have my updated system specs loaded, in case you want to check them out,
as for the small switch, I am still looking for that

No need to change MB, any PCI-e 3.0 GPU will work on 2.0 and 1.0 slots.
