I'm no expert, but as you're telling that the onboard slot functions correctly, I would guess the problem lies with the graphics card itself or the cables connecting the GPU are faulty or wrongly connected.

You could insert the same RAM sticks into another functional desktop and see if the computer continues to function as before. Otherwise take it to a shop.

Get the RAM tested.

My case is really small. And it has the worst cable management one can imagine. And when it comes to fans, I have one pre-attached to the graphics card, one on the cpu cooler, one small fan at the back of the case and one fan at the front of the case. And for now, the place where I keep my case...

Okay I'll get the thermal paste also reapplied. But on average what temperature decrease can be expected after doing the same?

Update: The fan was replaced and now the temperature of the GPU stabilizes at 82 degrees(while gaming) . Is 82 degrees fine?

Thank you for your help. I've given it to a shop to get the fan changed. Will update tomorrow if the issue gets rectified. Again, thanks everyone.

I think I made some progress. I observed that even if the temperature of the gpu crosses 90 and reaches 96, the fan attached to the gpu does not spin at all. So, should the fan be repaired? What do you think?

The card is 4 years old. Gaming since then. Cable management is terrible in my cabinet, sigh. But I think I made some progress. I observed that even if the temperature of the gpu crosses 90 and reaches 96, the fan attached to the gpu does not spin at all. So, should the fan be repaired?

Yes. Sadly does not make a difference.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will do that tomorrow. Also in your opinion what is the fundamental problem here?

Specs- cpu: Ryzen 5 1600 gpu: GTX 1060 memory: 16GB RAM When I play any game, there is no issue in the initial 2 minutes of gameplay. But thereafter, the GPU temperature rises to 96 celcius and CPU temperature hovers around 50 celcius. When this happens .i.e. when the gpu temperature reaches 96...
