Can graphic card cause computer to crash

[pandastew]

So I have been using my rig for about 2 years - 3 years without any issue, and just yesterday it starts giving me problem without any prior warning. Here are some of the symptoms: HDMI port that I have been using to connect with for 2+ years stopped working and I had to replace with VGA (another HDMI cable did not work), playing Dota 2 randomly causes computer to crash yesterday (it was fine before), no updates was recently done to my gpu, watching hulu caused the computer to freeze and displayed Quick BSOD before fritzing and making my speaker to make grey sound, watching a random tv show on windows media player suddenly freeze midway and after being frozen for 3-5 min, the video briefly play at fast forward speed and then freeze again while sound play again before my mobo displayed a red light (I opened my casing) and restarting my PC but errored at BIOS screen. Is this a gpu, mobo, or ssd issue?
