Well i dont know about that exact card but a lot of Video cards seem to be running above 40-60c nowif ur just booting up from a night of it resting and the room temp is the normal 22c u might want to check inside to see if there is Dust cloging the metal fins

If you got to Nvidia's website it says that max temp is 105c so your in the clear.

You can download MSI Afterburner or your manufacture's monitoring tool to manage your fan speeds and card temps.

I would not worry unless it reaches higher than 80°C. Something else is freezing your PC, not temperatures.
