Something in Godot Settings Borked my GPU

I was playing around with some settings in the Display, VSYNC and some other toggles. I toggled them and then changed it back to what they were. There was still a button that showed that said “restart to see changes”, I clicked it.

Godot restarted, my entire screen froze and godot was unresponsive and I killed it.
I reopened godot, my screen froze this time and didn’t unfreeze, windows went to the “collecting errors screen” and restarted.
Now my GPU (Nvidia GTX 760) has an error 43 in device manager and won’t work…
Has anyone seen this happen before?

I am currently attempting a power cycle.
(disabled GPU in device manager, shut down, disconnected the power cord and switched off my supply, pushed my power button for a minute, waiting 10 minutes before i turn it back on).

UPDATE:
Welp, that didn’t work…

this is a pc?

open it up and make sure the video card is seated properly.
Also, try removing the gpu and booting, then putting it back.

sorry and I hope you get it figured out.
