Ok, so I bought a gigayte gtx 760 graphics card back in July. My entire rig has been performing perfectly these past months. In January though, I was searching around the internet and my monitor suddenly disconnected and the fans on my graphics card were on the highest speed. I quickly shut down my computer. I then unplugged my monitor, and turned on my computer, but the fans were still blowing really loudly. So I went inside my computer and removed the graphics card, and then immediately put it back in. I turned on my computer and it booted up as normal. The next day, I quit a game that I was playing, and a couple seconds later, the monitor disconnected and the fans went really loud... Just like before. So I did the same thing. After booting it up, I rolled back my gpu driver to the one I had before this all happened(I believe it was a December 2013 update). After I updated it, my computer has had no problems for the past 2 months, until two days ago. I was on my desktop not using any application, when my monitor disconnected and the computer stopped responding. There is no way this can be a heat problem, because I wasn't even playing a game two of the times this happened. Plus this gpu is one of the coolest components in my system. After removing the gpu and booting up
my pc, I updated to the latest driver. But it happened again 20 minutes ago. I am having a terrible time trying to figure this out. What should I do?

Also it is happening really quickly now. It will barely boot up. It just fails ten minutes into start up.
