So just recently I've begun having issues with what I guess would be my GPU (I've tested multiple monitors and they all work with other PCs and while plugged into to motherboard instead of my graphics card which is an Nvidia GTX 660). Right now I can't get my monitor to get a signal and when I did occasionally manage it when the problem first came up it would only work for a short time and my PCs display drivers would crash a lot too. I'm pretty sure its just broken and I'll have to get a new one but posting here just to be sure. Would really appreciate if anyone could give me some help with this, thanks!

Sounds more like an out of date driver or bad power supply issue.

Display driver has stopped and recovered is extremely common when the GPU is starved of power.
Often times it is kind of like a small glitch in the drivers, making sure you are 100% up to date is important.

So your first step is to use a program called DDU to uninstall your drivers completely.
Then you want to download the latest drivers directly from Nvidia and install those.

If that doesn't work you should make sure your PSU is strong enough and not dying. This is really hard to test without tools and experience, it is often easier to simply purchase a new PSU and see if that solves the problem.
