Hey guys hope everyone I doing well. This morning I was playing valorant when my pc just get a Black screen for 2 sec and then everything becomes normal few rounds in game the black screen problem came back and started happening after every 10 sec or so 2 sec black out then normal then I saw that jittery few pixel lines on screen after existing the game I ran msi kombasture gpu was stable(it's not ovrclocked)but temps were around 88*c then I open the pc and saw one of the fan spinning a little slow not too slow but you can tell from watching the other fan so is my gpu toasted or I can fix it?
Initially you adjusted the thermal paste on your GPU. High memory usage can cause unusual behavior. Use Windows Memory Diagnostic (included) to check for issues. Faulty RAM may let your PC run but can produce poor video output. Fans usually don’t spin fast enough when overheating, often due to excessive noise reducing their lifespan. Turn off your PC and gently touch the GPU fan (don’t push). Rotate each fan slowly—if you sense resistance on the slower one, it’s likely failing and needs replacement.

Download HWinfo64 and maintain the session while you continue playing Valorant. Keep it open until the screen starts to fade. Launch HWinfo64 only through the sensors menu (prompt appears at start). This lets you view maximum GPU temperatures. A 88°C reading is quite high for a 1660 Super; the maximum reported by NVIDIA is 93°C. It might be time to upgrade the cooling. If the fans are running and making normal sounds, they’re likely individually managed—this is typical for modern GPUs, as one fan spins up first to balance noise. As shown in the example: Edit: slightly adjusted for better clarity
