Could a warning for "insufficient power" to a graphics card be caused by
the card fan gone dead? IOW, could a dead electromecanical component have
such an effect?

Perhaps.
It could also be due to loss of the 12v supply to the card.

A warning when?

Please do not ask such a vague question without detailing
the exact situation.

In general, if you get a generic warning message you have to
assume a generic fault. A failed fan can cause higher temps
which require higher voltage (all else being equal) but this
is far too vague to speculate on.

Please do not ask others to spend time on something if you
aren't even willing to spend the time yourself to detail
what the exact situation is. This may seem harsh, but it is
in everyone's best interests to have full information
instead of random speculations and waste of time.

First thing to do is check your power lead on the card...
it might have come off
