That's warm, but should be able to handle up to 80c. From what I've read, if it got up to 90c is when damage can occur.
What PSU are you using? It could just be starved for power if you're below requirements.
Stress test the GPU with some graphic bench-marking. If you run into the issue again, it might be a GPU issue. At which point, I'd look into RMA-ing that card for a replacement if I were you.

I don't discount anything to be honest. Based on the symptoms you've described thus far, I'm leaning heavily toward it be a GPU issue. But truly, you're going to have to tease it out via collecting data (thermals), stress testing, and collect more data.
Start off with the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. Then check RAM with Memtest86.
Next, pull stats with GPU-Z while running FurMark to stress it out. Check values before, as they run, and after.
