So I've been using this card for about 18 months now. Recently I've been playing slightly more demanding games, and my card's been running very hot (~105C). A few times my PC shut itself down while playing, perhaps some failsafe to stop the card frying itself. After this, rebooting my PC causes the fan to instantly run at 100% speed for a while when it normally starts low.
Anyway I've just opened my PC up and given it a good dust, reconnected everything at gone to fire it back up again, and I'm receiving no signal through the card. Everything else if fine, I'm typing on here now with my monitor plugged into the VGA port on the motherboard. When I turn it on, 2 red LEDs turn on on the back of the card for ~ 2 seconds and then go out again, just as the fan kicks in and spins at full speed. The LEDs remain turned off but the fan doesn't stop, even when the power cable to the GPU is unplugged. I've searched issues regarding red LEDs, and all I find is scenarios where the lights remain on or continuously flash.
TLDR: No signal through GPU, on start 2 red LEDs flash for ~ 2 seconds followed by the fan continuously spinning at 100%.
