Video card dead? Green screen, now no display.

I was playing Witcher 2 and the screen went green with some horizontal lines and I turned the computer off. Now when I turn it on there is no display at all. Is it definitely a dead video card? It's a 7850 2GB.

I overclocked it when Dark Souls 3 came out a few months ago. Had some green screen crashes when I was testing the overclock, but haven't had any crashes in a couple months.
 
Most likely the video card is dead/damaged, but the only sure way to know for sure is to try it in another computer.

Sometimes an issue with a video card can be related to the power supply or PCIe slot.

Thanks, I'll do some testing. Maybe I can find a spare video card to try in my computer.
