Sounds worrying.
I have the same HD 5870 card.

Use this utility    http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/overview.htm
to monitor the temperatures & set fan speed ...I have it running always with 
a
Fan/ Temperature profile that keeps the heat lower than the stock control 
for a slightly
higher Fan level.

The given Web page will confront you with lots of excitement Re: 
overclocking.
Ignore that & use as basic controller + monitor.
There is also there an accompanying utility prog. 'Kombuster'
that does a stress  test routine.
@@@@

Reading your post my first thought is that the card is failing ..
.or perhaps the Power Supply.
I would 1st definitely try unplugging the cards power leads
& taking it out of the PCI slot .....then put it all back together again 
...this
to check & correct any loose or dirty connections.
I very definitely recommend that first.
