I'd use Google to find a program that monitors GPU tempurature, put it through its paces and see what happens. If you don't use CUDA or game you might just not be keeping it at sustained load for long enough period of time to heat it up. Or it might be a real problem that's ruining the video card. Either way I'd contact the video card manufacturer's tech support about getting it repaired or replaced.

Hi,

when you say "cooler fan under graphic card" do you mean the fan on the graphics card or a fan on the motherboard? In case you still have warranty for the malfunctioning part- send it back for repairs.

In case your warranty has already expired I would try fixing the problem myself. Clean it properly from any dust, grease up the fan (just a little).

Good luck.
