Furmark does EATS GPU . Running Furmark test rise the temperature tremendously but I think 90 is a bit too high.

Did you make sure the fans are running ? Or did you run afterburner to monitor its performance ?
Most importantly , did you OVERCLOCK it?

Did you tweak the voltage ? Whats the default voltage on the Afterburner ? Try Increasing your fan speed to see if it helps



And before you panic, modern GPU can actually withstand 90 'c for awhile.
You can try referring to this thread for some good reading and understanding :

Something that worth a note :


Most cards have a maximum GPU temperature (105*C for most NVIDIA cards). This means that if you reach this temperature, the card will automatically begin to lower it's clocks and voltage to lower temperatures. If the temperature goes higher than that there is a built in protection (much like on Intel CPUs) that will automatically cut power to the GPU. All these thresholds are way below what the danger temp is so basically it is impossible (unless you purposely disable or change the thresholds) for your GPU to ever reach a dangerous temperature in which it may die.

I am kinda confused at your blurry description. Too many things at once , chill and calm down.
First you have a temperature problem with your card, and now the card wont boot up after you re'sit' the card into the mobo slot ?


I seriously doubt the problem is linked, but regardless you may wanna check if you have the card has fill the slot properly.
Did you try with another monitor ? or with your older card to see if you can boot up just fine.





It is actually okay for a card to reach, even 100 degree , and most Nvidia card could withstand up to 105 for a while.
But It is not recommended.

If you think your card heat up too fast, have you been running very demanding game such as Crysis 2 / Shogun 2 ?
70 is actually fine as long as your fan is running properly. If you are worried you can manually adjust your fan speed to be higher to see if it helps with your situation.

I dont see how that can damage your card , probably not.

'I think you were just being unlucky and your card die at the wrong time you did something so you think they were related.

And you didnt so anything to void the warranty ( from what you described )
I dont see why MSI wouldnt cover yours .

Probably good time to RMA the card if you ask me .
