So my 2 year old 7970 card started acting strange yesterday. Firstly, the fan started making grinding noises so I had no other option that unplugging the second fan. Then the card ran fine for about a day, now the second problem takes place. When ever I watch youtube with higher Q than 144 the screen looses signal to the card... Fans are running and everything seem to work but the signal sent to the screen simply turns off, also I've tried moving the card to a different pc but same problem there.

Note: I've used this card for mining last winter (Ran it at 80% Load so could it've been the long term load thats the problem)?
