GPU temperature Spike, cause PC crash.

[Loupning]

Hello so a week ago my PC started to crash and I didn't have any clue as to why, but recently I started to monitor my PC using NZXT's CAM application, great app by the way, I've noticed that the GPU temperature jump from ~43 to 127 degree Celsius, not gradually but directly.

 

Does any of you have an idea as to why this is ? I have a Radeon HD 6670 I bought it ~2 years ago.

 

Crash 'detail' : Screen turn off then follow by a keyboard lockup most of the time and sound might start to be distorted or not.

This is so weird. Even if the fans stopped spinning the temperature spike should have been "fairly" gradual. It's like the heat sink just fell off the card. Can you take a look at the card (take it out oft he case, make sure everything looks hunky-dory). A spike of this magnitude seems like it could only be cause by a mechanical failure of some kind.

Look fine to me. I am by no mean an expert to see 'hidden' damage.
