Downloaded a new video editing software. Was trying to edit while the Rainbow six Siege match finished. I was running a recording software on that, and Im wondering if I burned up my GPU

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Looks like it's just a crash.

If it is booting into safe mode, I don't think your GPU physically burned out (or had a mechanical defect) - when the fan on mine died, the whole computer would shut down soon after boot. It may be a software conflict from the software?

If you can, open the computer and look to see if the light on the GPU comes on when you boot (and if the fan starts spinning)

Hard to say.

I looked up the error to see what I could find.

The GPU is involved anyway. Could be the drivers or the card itself.

Fans are on. Only light I can see is for audio boost

That's definitely a hardware issue with the video card. I've seen those telltale dots/artifacts dozens of times. It probably overheated to the point of melting the BGA solder. Sometimes a reflow will fix it, but that usually requires expensive hardware.

In a best case scenario you might be able to just turn it off for a while and hope that when you turn it back on the solder didn't cool in the wrong places.

If thats the case, I would just need to replace/upgrade my GPU right?

Pull the graphics card out of your machine and plug into the HDMI ports directly on the motherboard.

Could be worse man. I'd take a bad GPU over a bad motherboard or hdd/ssd.

Yeah true. Im hoping theres not another issue hiding in there somewhere, and replacing the GPU fixes it

Check your airflow and ambient temps once you get the new card thrown in, as well.

Most likely other-faulty-part to cause damage to GPU is the power supply. Might be worth replacing that just in case, depending how expensive your new GPU is.

You should definitely blow out that case with some kind of forced air in the meantime.
PM'img can be very useful.
