I have an MSI GT70 2PC Dominator.

I was playing TF2 today, and randomly it stopped working, and my screen flashed. (I use a 32 inch Samsung TV). After that my TV lost connection to my laptop. Right now, my laptop screen and monitor (connected through VGA) are the only things working. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forums, but I'm kind of freaking out, because I've never run into a problem like this, and I don't like calling support lines. Is there any way to fix my HDMI port? I tried 3 different HDMI cables, one that I bought recently in a black friday sale, which is the one I've been using, The HDMI cable that came with my Wii U, and the hdmi cable that came with the PS3 that I bought two weeks ago, which have all been working recently with everything other than my laptop. I don't know if my HDMI port is broken in my laptop, or if it's purely software, or user error.

Thanks for any help, and sorry for any grammar mistakes, it's late at night.

Alright, so my new situation is that my PC no longer even shows my GTX 870m in the device manager. I backed up all the files I would like to keep, but will a factory reset actually help? Is my GPU Broken? So far I have found more questions than answers. Please, has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it?

Also, my MSI laptop came with a steelseries keyboard as the laptop's keyboard, and Steelseries engine can't find that keyboard, so my keyboard doesn't illuminate anymore. The keyboard problem is very minor to me, but not having a GPU is MAJOR.
