Once it went black, it hasn't come back.

So I was playing a game when the screen went black and I heard a weird glitch noise. After waiting maybe 30 seconds, I held down the power button to turn it off. Since then I havent seen the display but I do still hear the Windows startup sound when I turn it on. Of course this could only mean it is the GPU. The thing is I can still see the LED on my GPU lit, so I am not sure why it is not displaying. Any suggestions? I have tried switching the HDMI cable, but that didn't work.

On a sidenote, I have had my computer on for a while now. I think it's been about 5 days since I have turned it off. Do you think it just needs some downtime? Also I built it maybe a month ago.

Thank you, in advance.

5days without turning it off? that is not good unless you've got some serious cooling.

Could be a damaged GPU due to heat issues/just running for 5days in a row.

Was the weird glitch noise from the PC speakers or from inside the PC?

The sound came from the speakers(in this case my headphones).

Also I forgot to mention that my computer does have power saving settings on, so the display does go off sometimes.
