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

I might mean that the hardware on the video card may be getting a little to warm or wearing out. Something to think about if it’s a dinosaur.

I have a dinosaur running Kubuntu 18.04 with a Gigabyte P35-DS3L

card, I have a GeForce GT 520.   A few days ago it started acting up.  
Now, at random, it acts as if the video card shuts off.  Both monitors 
give a no signal message.  However, the software I had running continues 
running.  I know this because the dinosaur still plays the audio.  The 
keyboard doesn't respond. crtl+alt+backspace doesn't work.  I can ssh 
into it, but it won't reboot.  The only thing I can do to recover is to 
hold down the power switch until it shuts off, then turn it on again.

Any idea what this might be?

thanks
