Poor cable management could cause problems with airflow. How did you clean it? Did you damage the GPU's block or fan? Did you take it apart?

Problem is solved. It seems that after my brother hit it several times (not opened pc), the GPU felt of a bit. When I took it out and put it back, now it works.

A GPU doesn't fall off. It's secured to the case with a screw.

Not in my case. There is a sort of plastic lever. Maybe it got loose.

I wish my English is on higher level to explain you, but it's not. Let's just say it became loose, somehow.

Well its not likely but if the paste on the GPU and the cooler is old and bristle it is prone to crack on the slightest touch.
Also it is a merely an assumption that there is a direct connection between opening the case and the heating.
It is also possible that it is a malfunction in the driver etc.

Replacing the paste after 5 years seems like a sensible thing to do anyway.

How long does it take to blow?
