GPU Broken???

So my computer just started doing this weird thing, I was running double monitors on it while I was at a different house where I had moved it, all was good up until like a week in it started doing this (image 1). But on startup it’s completely fine. (Image 2) before moving back I made sure to take the gpu out in case that was somehow the issue, but when I got back and set everything up and plugged my 3 monitors in the same thing one would flare up, the other would be fine but my third monitor won’t turn on. I tried switching the cables between the monitors, and on the gpu itself. Sometimes 2 monitors would work, but as soon as I’d plug the third cable in it looks like image 1. When all 3 are plugged in and only 1 is working this is what I see in display manager (image 3). After a while I came to the conclusion it’s probably the gpu. Has anyone seen this before? Is it fixable? Or am I out a graphics card now.

Check device manager, open the video adapters section and see if it there's a code 43 in there. But it looks like your GPU has kicked the bucket :(

A GPU-Z screenshot might help as well.

Swap the monitors around as that could be a monitor issue too, as it kinda looks like possible bad flex cable connections around the edge of the screen.

How ever you have then in 2 directions but always be best to check.

I’ve swapped cables between monitors and dp ports on the gpu and still only one monitor will work, even with new cables too.

Check device manager, open the video adapters section and see if it there's a code 43 in there. But it looks like your GPU has kicked the bucket :(
Damn! It’s only over 2 years old and I’ve never fiddled with it or anything, do you have any idea what could have caused it if it is broken? I haven’t touched it since putting it in, except for when I moved it I took it out which is what I thought was the best thing to do to prevent anything from happening.
