Since friday I have been having problems with my main rig which has been absolutely fine up until now, i'll be just watching youtube videos then all of a sudden my graphics card drivers will crash meaning I have to Hard Restart my PC (This is with fan set to 70%) So the next time i booted up I looked at temps, they were cycling from 192, 128, 64, 0 constantly, i do have video footage which i can upload if it helps but after it crashing a few times it will not even show video at all, as i start my PC the Graphics card fan goes straight to 100%, shows video for a split second then goes straight back off making my tv give me the message no video signal. So far i have reseated my graphics card, reset bios by removing the CMOS battery and not smashed the thing up yet lol, but if anyone has any help as to what i can do then please let me know.
Just so you know the only output i can use is HDMI as that is the only input my tv has and all the other TV's are large wall mounted ones meaning I cant access the back of them and my motherboard doesnt have a HDMI out.
Mobo - Asus p8 h61-mx r2.0
Graphics card - GTX 480
PSU - Corsair CX600M
8gb ram
A SSD and HDD

Are the fans on your Graphics Card spinning? Make sure they aren't obstructed by any cables.

Ensure your Graphics Card is sat firmly in its PCI-E x16 slot, not at a slight angle. You can check this by pressing down firmly on the spine of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

Ensure the power connectors running from the PSU to the Graphics Card are securely attached also.

I believe it was something to do with the tempreture sensor as it was giving stragely high readings and because of that it made my PC randomly crash as I said, but when i turned it on the Gpu fan went straight to 100% which made me think that it wouldnt display because the computer thought the card was to hot so after resetting bios i managed to get picture for a second before going off and after unplugging the hdmi and plugging it back in (several times) the fan went back to normal, i then restarted the pc and everything worked. if you really wanted you could check out my newest youtube video where i show the weird temps and me starting the pc up after solving the problem, and the video uploaded before that shows the problem i was having where it wouldnt display anything.
