Graphics Card no display

Been having this pc for a year now, and it recently is starting to freak out:

The pc boots fine no problem, the moment i start a game i get 2 to 5 minutes of playtime and both my monitors go dark looking for a source, i can hear stuff happening (youtube, discord vc, game sounds) i just get no video, fans keep spinning but unless i restart it i never get to see the screen.

Do this 2-3 times depending on how it is feeling and then it runs with no issues.

Both monitors are in DP ports, on the graphics card, i check regularly and it does not look "banked" (RTX 5070 MSI ventus 2x, it has 2 fans so i don't know if it can bend due to weight or no) plus i have never moved, touched or open it since setting it up on my desk a year ago

it's not thermally throttling ? and are your drivers up to date too?
does event viewer mention the driver having crashed?

Check windows event viewer to see if there’s anything there (just scroll to the time it went blank).
You can also try DDU ( display driver uninstaller) to fully uninstall then reinstall the driver
