After about 12 years of service my GPU card is starting to act up. It seems to shut down so no video on my monitor, even the virtual consoles. System is up and functioning as I can access it via ssh. Sometimes this state is accompanied by the fan running at high speed though the card is not overheating.
Re the "not overheating" are you judging by sensor readings, or have you felt the card to see if it's hot?
I do general maintenance on my systems once or twice a year, cleaning out the dust and fluff, reseating cards, sometimes replacing a fan.
Mind you, 12 years is a good service life in computing. And a bit surprising that you might be able to fit a modern one onto the same old board. Usually, technology changes make that difficult.
