today my gpu randomly went 100% fan speed and I got a black screen, this has happened before right after installing new graphics drivers so I had to revert back to old ones, but today it happened again on old drivers again.
The gpu works fine, I get 100% performance at all times and temps are always good but randomly the fan speeds go to 100% and the monitor goes black screen. This happens very rarely, last time it happened was around 2 weeks ago.

what could be the issue? is the gpu dying or is it the drivers fault? the gpu is a 1080ti sc2 black edition evga, never mined on.
