Is my GPU Dead? Computer starts up but nothing on monitor (AMD R9 390 Sapphire Nitro)

I was playing some Skyrim earlier and my computer just shutdown without any kind of notice. I suspect it's because the video card overheated. I wasn't monitoring the temp, but the room itself was pretty warm.

When I started my computer back up, nothing shows up on the monitor (no cable/signal detected). It doesn't show windows loading even, just nothing. The fans on the video card aren't spinning, but I can't recall if it normally does or not when starting up.

When I plug a VGA cable from my monitor to the VGA motherboard port then everything loads fine. However the video card is not recognized. When I try to load up AMD settings it says there's a problem with the driver or video card. So did my card overheat and die? Is it possible the PSU cables burned out? Everything else about the computer seems fine from what I can tell.

And if it is dead, does anyone have any experience with RMA with Newegg+Sapphire?

are you using a good psu to power it? does it ever boots up and recognizes the gpu again? have you try literally plugging it out and putting it back in? if all of these are done. I think you might wanna bake the card (yes the gpu might be dead)
