A bit of foreground, the day before my computer crashed instantly and had problems restarting. I believe it's because my power cord wasn't plugged in all the way. I'm not sure because I didn't check during that time, but I'm relatively certain.

Yesterday I accidentally kicked my power cord out and had to restart my computer. After that happened I noticed I had a graphics card update. I tried to do it and it failed. Then my GPU stopped being detected and I restarted my computer a few times. None of the restarts helped and I haven't gotten back around to trying anything else because of work.

I'm assuming it isn't being detected because of the driver installation failure. I didn't check the fans on it, but I noticed the lights are still illuminated for it. I'm going to try to reinstall my drivers whenever I get a chance later, but I'm a bit scared of it being a GPU failure. Anyone have any ideas?
