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.

Anecdotally speaking, nearly all of my electronics have been freaking
out due to the heat, this includes:
* google chromecast not playing
* roku sound going out periodically
* sonos bridge needing restarting daily
* VR laptop only works if I put a box fan in front of it
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.

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

a video
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
