Answer:
It has nothing to do with your video card. You need to go into your power saving features and turn off stand by and any power settings. Tell things to turn off **NEVER** The HDDs can power Down after a few minutes, that's no big deal, BUT, stop letting the PC go into hibernate at all.

20-30 degrees C is actually quite low if the system is under load. It is more likely that either your PSU is not providing enough power to the card or the card is giving up the ghost. Your cheapest option is to upgrade the PSU, if that doesn't work then replace the graphics card too.
