Today I moved my PC in a car and after connecting it and launching a game, the GPU overheated so much it shut down. I’m looking for possible causes.

Does your setup provide adequate cooling? (such as fans and airflow) I'm checking because in my previous PC, adding just one fan reduced GPU temperatures by 8°C.

Did the cooler detach unexpectedly? Verified if there were any signs of harm.
