<p>One monitor is plugged in via the DVI port and the other via
HDMI. I think Austin was right that heat may be the problem. I
put a small fan in the case so it blows directly on the video
card. Psensor show the card being around 20°C cooler with the fan
than without. Thanks Austin. and everyone else who responded.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Last time I had a video card lose a fan, the whole

cooling, but sounds like the card itself, such as the actual
output chips are dying/bad.

<div>Are you using any display adapters? My current system with
a Nvidia 1070 card I use 3x DisplayPort to HDMI adapters, and
after a week or two of uptime, I'll wake up the displays in
the morning for work, and randomly a display won't get
signal. I have to reset the stupid adapter to make it work
again. Really annoying, but could be something similar if you
are using active adapters on the outputs too.</div>

<p>There's a fan built into the side of the case. I could
take the side out of the case and put a small fan in there
aimed at the video card. Right now Psensor says the video
card is at 55°C, but I just started the machine a few
minutes ago. After it warms up, the card stays around
80°C. Still, if something in the card is going bad, it
may act up at lower temperatures than it should. Also it
can't hurt to cool it down.</p>

<div>You problems sound like they could be heat
related. If you have a box fan of some sort and you
can improve airflow in your machine, you might be able
to test it. Or maybe your case could be better
ventilated.</div>

<p>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.</p>
<p>thanks<br>
