I have (and have had for 18 months) this same problem.  I have taken out 
my transwarp, but that DOES NOT fix the problem.  What I have found is:

when the temperature gets above 80 in my computer room, the problem gets 
more severe.  If I "pop" the power supply (turn off the //gs first!) and 
push on the large square VGC chip (the one in the socket) the problem goes 
away.  I think the heat build-up causes either the chip or the socket to 
warp slightly, and in my case, the chip actually rocks in the socket.  
And, oh yes, I do have an internal fan.
