Please note the details of your system: motherboard Gigabyte GA-946GM-S2 rev 2.0, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo e4700 at 2.60ghz, RAM 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB), GPU Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3. I’ll explain everything in detail so you understand the process.
They struggle to manage it properly, which can cause issues without increasing voltage. This might result in only 1 or 2 frames per second while the device heats up significantly.

Even the most affordable new GPU with just 1GB of memory, such as the HD7750, would perform exceptionally well. You wouldn't require a replacement power supply either.
I believe you were fortunate it lasted so long. I've witnessed many GPUs failing in that category before. The chances don't seem worth the potential loss.
