So I was playing some game, come several hours, and then the screen suddenly glitched with pink pixely blocks randomly popping up, like a missingno. I immediately checked the inside of my pc and found the the graphics card is heating up like crazy, so I panicked and shut it off. I let it cool down for a while then turned it back on, and this happens.
I am still able to log in to my desktop, but it's somehow stuck to a lower resolution with the same screen tearing as pic related. Checking speccy, I noticed that the GPU's temp counter is missing, and the monitor has a refresh rate of 1 hz.
I've been able to play said game for a couple of days now, and this has never happened before.

What is happening and how big of a problem is this?

GPU is fried?
Probably might want to replace that.

I see. Then I guess I'll be putting it off until I can buy a new GPU.

Still confused as to how it would happen though, burning up like that. Is there any possibility of other hardware that can contribute to this? Say, the PSU?

Which graphic card is that?
Also, unmount it and connect your monitor to the motherboard video output and dont play games in a while

Nvidia GTX460 SE iirc. Got it as a secondhand though, so I don't think it's too much of a loss.
