After about 12 years of service my GPU card is starting
to act up. It seems to shut down so no video on my

though the card is not overheating.
Re the "not overheating" are you judging by sensor readings, or have
you felt the card to see if it's hot?
from sensor readings via the nvidia-settings program. Once I suspected
the video card I logged the output at 20 min intervals hoping to see
the temps rise. Typically running in the low 30's (C) and reaching a
max of 44 degrees. Fan speed ranged from 1200-1320 rpm.
I do general maintenance on my systems once or twice a year, cleaning
out the dust and fluff, reseating cards, sometimes replacing a fan.
Plan to do the same when I swap video cards.
Mind you, 12 years is a good service life in computing. And a bit
surprising that you might be able to fit a modern one onto the same old
board. Usually, technology changes make that difficult.
True. My replacement, while unused, is not "current" but just a few
generations newer than the failing one. Installed is a 660TI and the
replacement is a 1660"super".
