My card is an XFX RX6900XT. I've encountered some strange problems with my GPU recently, such as unexpected crashes accompanied by unusual lines, and random disabling of the graphics during gameplay. I need to reboot my PC to display a backup image on the main screen. Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver seems necessary to resolve the issue, but it's happened multiple times lately. I was playing Minecraft, didn't touch the power cable, and cleaned the dust from the card about two months ago. I'm worried the GPU might be failing despite being new, purchased over two years ago.

Restarting Windows might resolve the problem. Otherwise, consider replacing the GPU or returning the old one for warranty support, which is also referred to as RMA your graphics card.
