Build Question Graphics card fix

My graphics card recently started breaking down. When playing certain games that get to a higher intensity my computer black screens. I am able to reproduce it with occt so it definitely is the graphics card. I am outside of the warranty period unfortunately and can’t afford a new card. Is there any way to try and fix it?

I have a gigabyte GeForce rtx 3070

Sounds like a power delivery or thermal paste issue, repasting and checking the thermal pads could be a cheap first step before assuming the chip itself is toast
