Yes, I think the fan got jammed or something. It’s a plugin card, Radeon dual DVI, so if it’s going bad it’s not too expensive to fix, luckily.

Last startup I could hear it making some noise like the fan was clearing some dust out when it started up, or something. That noise stopped and so far it’s been OK for almost 30 minutes now, so I have my fingers crossed.

Open it up & use a vacuum reverse flow or low speed on a leaf blower from a distance to blow it out.
