Bad driver?

 

Not enough power?

If a capacitor or something blew out on the card, it's not going to be repairable. You can try running DDU and then reinstalling the most up to date drivers for the card and see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't you should test it in another PC all together and see if it does the same thing, if it does, it's a hardware problem with  the card likely looking at replacing it, if it doesn't have an issue it's most likely software in which case a Windows reinstall could fix their issue.
