Question Display randomly shuts off and GPU fans crank up to max speed ?

[canyoucant]

My 6700 XT works perfectly when gaming (fine performance, fine temps), but at random times the display will turn off and the GPU fans crank up to max speed. I've never even seen the second fan turn on even when playing AAA games at max settings with this GPU for over a year. This would happen when the PC has been on for a few minutes (idling. I haven't seen it do this during game time), or it would happen immediately after I turn it on.

Things I've tried:

• Updating the driver
• Reconnecting the power cable
• Cleaning the PCIe connector

Updating the driver
Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, Nvidia and AMD) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from AMD's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
