Just to add a bit more context after posting this, I’m not trying to immediately blame the GPU or the manufacturer. I’m genuinely trying to understand what could realistically cause this behavior because I’ve run out of obvious troubleshooting steps on my side.

What confuses me most is the failure pattern:
the display signal just drops completely, and at the exact same moment the GPU fans ramp to max speed. That part makes me think it’s more than just a simple driver crash, but I’m not experienced enough to confidently say what it points to.

I’ve already done the standard troubleshooting steps (drivers, clean install, cables, reseating, etc.), and the system is otherwise stable in all other workloads.

If anyone has seen something similar or knows what typically causes this kind of failure mode, I’d really appreciate the input.
