My GTX 260 will climb to 60-70 degrees rapidly then the screen will go blue green or purple. Anyone know what's up with it?
For a start, is the fan working correctly?
yes
What type of case do you have? You could have a bad air circulation.
I have NZXT lexa s and i moved it yesterday to a better place it still happened.
When does the problem happen? Playing games? Just idling?
Well if it is bad circulation of air why is it dying at 60-70 when it can take 105

it happens when its idle
If it's a bad circulation of air, it doesn't mean that it has to go to the top temperature, the air just might not be cold enough. That's what it sounds like to me anyway.
but it shouldnt die at 60

Is it possible that when the gtx is idle and it brings its clock down, that it has a lower heat threshold?
Download furmark and run t for 10 minutes while logging the temp.

Those are idle temperatures, meaning that the temperatures were recorded when you weren't doing something really. Load temperatures are the temperatures when your pc is actually doing something (heavy). Open a game which makes your gpu hot, play it for a few minutes, quickly alt+tab to hwmonitor and then screenshot.

Keep going until it BSOD's (or reaches 100+)
Then set the fans peed to 70% manually (DO NOT SET IT TO 100% you will break the bearings.)
could attempt to replace the thermal paste, make sure to clean the old shit off with alcohol
