Sometimes my gpu fan gets really loud while gaming and monitor shows black screen (The blue light for the power on/off is flashing so I think the gpu stops working). I also have another problem where the monitor screen goes black and the fan goes really loud again except I can alt tab out of the game to my startup screen. Should I replace my graphics card?

AMD FX 6300
Radeon RX 470 4gb
8gb ram
800 watt 80 plus power supply

I also had this problem as well as Asus Anti-Surge triggering. What helped me was that I disconnected my GPU and sprayed the connectors with a electronic cleaner spray. You can also try the same with compressed air.

I didn't check recently, but it has been happening for a while and couple months ago when I checked the temps, they were fine. 70-75 for gpu, 45-50 for cpu.
edit: I'll try to make it happen again and check the temps just in case it actually gone higher
