nobody said this yet?

dust is a possibly. especially if your "buddy" smokes and has a pet.
The dust can block the video card heatsink, causing a high idle and high load. Instead of the air going through the heatsink it instead goes around it because the dust makes it too restricted.

worth a shot, either visually check or get a can of compressed air

Yes, you are correct. However since the OP has reseated once and made no mention of dust, I guess we assumed that was not an issue.

Well he did say in the beginning that he cleaned it out.

I'd have to agree with mounting though.

For what it's worth, a heavy combination of pet and smoke dust won't come out with just canned air. Not fully at least. Powered air compressors work wonders though.
