I am pretty sure there's a small fan on the motherboard, it's an Asus A8R32-MVP Delux Motherboard ATI Xpress 3200 crossfire chipset.

If it turns out to be the GPU, how would I silence that? One thing about my computer, it's really loud when i power the computer up, but silences down dramatically once the BIOS screen comes up, so the "blow-dryer" noise quiets down after about 2 seconds (not sure which fan/s causes this). Even though the VERY LOUD noise quiets down after 2 seconds, under normal operation, the noise is still too loud.
