display shuts off at random

[Jim]

I had thought that it might be getting old, but I only bought the video 
card new 3 years ago.  How long should one last?  Psensor shows the 
temperature of the card at 77°C, but the specs  show the maximum allowed 
temperature is 102°C.  It just started doing this a few days ago.  I 
guess I could go into my parts box and find another video card to put in 
there until I get a chance to buy a new one.

thanks
