Graphics card malfunction; no more signal from pc

[alexmaragaron]

I was playing some call of duty black ops 2 last night when suddenly my display starts to glitch out before freezing completely. I force quit my computer, start it again, the mobo splash screen comes up and then no signal. So i force quit it again and reset my registry through command prompt on one of the windows repair options.

I can now get back onto my computer, but it is clear something is wrong with my gpu - device manager shows that i have error 43 on the gpu and games are running at single digit fps, on the menus.
So i decided to install the latest drivers, but upon restarting i had the same issue as before - splash screen then no signal.

So, i tested my hdmi cable with another device and it worked. I then decided to reseat my ram and remove, dust, and put my gpu into another slot on my mobo. Nothing worked. So i reset my bios and i can login again but my gpu still shows malfunction on device manager and when used.

Should i just buy a new gpu?

If you can, test the card in another system to make sure issue is not with your power supply.

What graphics card do you have and what are system specs?
