The problem: I turn the PC between 5-10 minutes the monitor power button goes amber, like it losing the signal from the video card. (Yeah the screen is blank) At the same time the fan on the video card start making a nasty sound. I assume the video card is the problem. I checked all the other fans all seem to be working correctly.

Any ideals about this problem. I put in a ticket with XFX.

All the parts were purchased 1/15/2207.


Edit :
I'm using the monitor on another PC now, so I'm sure the monitor is fine.
I don't have another PCI-E card to test that part out either.

Update:

Got this from XFX
