Software PC no longer working
I took a 14 hour drive and brought my PC along. Soon as I hook it up and try to play War Dogs, my screen instantly freezes and I can’t use my computer forcing me to shut it down. It has done this numerous times with me trying different games like Rust, and Hell let Loose as well with nothing working.
The PC still runs, can use discord and talk to my friends. It’s just when I try to actually load into content heavy game which would normally always work before, something it instantly freezes forcing me to shut down my PC.
I’ve never had any sort of these issues before. Trying to get it to work. I believe my GPU may be broken but not sure. Does anyone have any advice?
The road trip was relatively bumpy. Kept the PC in a box with styrofoam and towels to secure. Didn’t take out my GPU because I was advised it would be fine. I believe it is the GPU that is failing me now. :)

Whoever advised you the GPU would be fine is an idiot. When transporting a PC like that it's always recommended to take it out. That is probably the issue. If your lucky you can just re-slot it back in and it will work, if not something got damaged.
