After removing the fan and cleaning it, it now works.

Maybe be the fan cable was not making full contact. ?

The cleaning probably helped.

Keep an eye on it.

Speedfan or GPUZ might report the current operating temperature.

The two-wire fan has no easy means of monitoring whether it is
spinning or not. If the fan had three wires, it might have been
possible to monitor it.

Sometimes, a video card with a passive heatsink, plus
an 80mm case fan held near it, can be used as an alternative
cooling solution. Both my operating PCs here have auxiliary
cooling, and the 80mm fans are easier to replace than the
goofy fans used on the video card itself.

In this picture, the metal support arm is a piece of folded-over
aluminum sheet. Screws hold it to the PCI slot covers. Nylon wraps
hold the 80mm case fan in place. It blows air upwards onto the
adjacent low-end video card. You can see the aluminum heatsink
of the video card, just above the fan. The yellow vertical support,
is a means of reducing the stress of the motherboard having a
heavy CPU cooler. This is the first PC where I bothered to
support the CPU cooler like that.
