Recently there has been a screeching sounds coming from my computer and I might have found it, its my graphic card. Randomly the fans will stop spinning then go back to spinning is there anything I can do to fix it in a extremely easy simple fix? It's newish like had it for maybe 3 months, 2060S. What do i do? is my card screwed?

What you're hearing is probably coil whine, and it has nothing to do with the fans. The fans stopping is a feature where if the card drops below a certain temperature, the fans will stop spinning to reduce noise. Coil whine is an issue that's plagued graphics cards for years, and there's not really any way to fix it that I know of.

A screeching noise most likely isn't the fans. It's probably coil while. A lot of GPUs have it.

I seemed to fix the problem by turning the PSU upside down so the fan is pointing inside the case but since i have so much cool air flow its not affecting my tempatures. Ie I have 3 fans pointing outwards and 3 fan pointing inwards and 3 fans outside the case blowing so much air into the case that the temperature inside the case is colder than the ambient temperature of my room
