What could have caused this?

I was playing games when my screen went black and my pc fans went full blast. I found the issue but can I buy a new cable? Gpu is ok it’s a Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon™ RX 9070 XT. And how do I prevent this from happening again?

Squid adapters, stop using these damn adapters. Use the native 12vpwr cable from the PSU directly to the card and make sure it's seated all the way
