Not sure if my GPU died or just crashed

Hey guys,
I was pugging in CSGO last night when the screen started glitching out (the colours went really weird and squiggly lines shot across the screen). After a couple minutes it went back to normal and I got the usual 'Display drivers have stopped responding and have recovered' windows error message. I thought nothing of it and went onto my driver settings to see if I needed to update them. A couple minutes later the same thing happened, but it didn't recover and the screen stayed glitched.

I shut the PC down and turned it back on but nothing displayed on the screen. The PC sounds like it is booting normally (I can hear my parts working like they usually do) and can see all the fans working like normal. So yeah, I'm really not sure if this is just a software issue on the GPU or if it died. I am using a 7950. Can you guys help me out?
Thanks.
 
This may or may not be an issue, but have you checked the seating of your graphics card in your PCIE lane? I knew a few issues like this with friends that their seating was bad. Good luck!
