Getting signal to monitor, but system says there is no GPU

So, I'm fearing the worst. Was playing a game last night when suddenly my computer crashed. Screen lost signal for a while, but came back and my computer rebooted itself. However, when windows loaded, its at the lowest resolution.

Tried restarting, tried updating deleting/reinstalling my drivers. None of that has done anything. I checked to see if the fan was still running, it was. Card didn't feel hot. In fact, it didn't even feel warm. The light on the side is still lit up to. However, nothing on my computer registers that I have a graphics card. Not under display advanced settings. Not even nVidia Control Panel is responding. And yet I still have my monitor hooked up to the card via a Displayport cable and I get a picture, though I get screen tearing just from watching videos.

Graphics card in question is an EVGA nVidia Titan Black. I've had it for maybe a year. Year and a half at most. Other system specs are as follows:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz
16 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Windows 7 64-bit

So, tell me, do I have a new $900 paper weight?

My motherboard supports SLI, but doesn't have a card in the second PCIe slot. I moved the card to the second PCIe slot. The drivers for the PCI bus were installed, so windows recognizes that there is something there. However, it doesn't recognize it as a graphics card and the problem remains unchanged. I don't have another graphics card to try.
