PC crashing, freezing when entering BIOS, and more (possibly GPU related)

Computer began crashing randomly after I moved it one time. It doesn’t freeze, the screens go to “no input device” and if i’m listening to something, i hear that weird crash sound of like stuck udio through the speakers. I restarted and it took forever to reboot. The crashing continued, everytime taking 5+ minutes to boot. I then went into the gpu settings and messed something up, screens went to “no input” like during the crashes, but i thought it was because of changing the settings because it happened right as i clicked apply to change something, might have been another crash though. I plug my hdmi into the onboard graphics and rebooted. Pc was stuck on the normal page where you type in your windows password, but the screen looked distorted (colors, lines, etc.) so i hit restart on my mobo and it gave me the error code 0d, which on asus mobos means a faulty vga, faulty memory, or faulty something else. Recommends clearing CMOS and re-installing gpu/ram. I then unplugged everything, re-installed ram, took gpu out and booted. Started fine, so i plugged my monitor in, eventually the long loading screen came up and then froze, mobo had same error code on it, 0d. Rebooted again, got bsod with stop code: pfn code corrupt (something like that). I then rebooted with keyboard plugged in and tried going to bios and it froze when i got to bios, mobo read the same error code, 0d. I then restarted, was immediately prompted to repair, but i figured it wasnt anything software related, so i started windows, it booted up fine, and I’m on the pc now using onboard graphics, no distortions.

What should I do?

this is verbatim what happened to my MSI 980ti gaming 6g. If you have another computer in your house plug your gpu into it and see if the same problem exists. then start your rma process MSI was good to me but it takes forever it seems.

I did more tactical diagnostics, eventually go onboard gfx working fine, didnt crash all night. Restarted normal speed. Threw gfx card back in, took forever to boot, but no more crashing. That said, i only had 1 monitor plugged in via hdmi. I just now went to plug my 2nd one on and everything went black on the main display, no input signal on 2nd i just plugged in via dvi. Honestly, i’m pretty sure the screen went black before i even got it plugged in. Just me pushing up against the card trying to plug the dvi input in made it fail. Bsod gave me “video tsr failure” or crash or something. I now know that i fucked my gfx card up by moving the pc aggressively when upset like an asshole. Really blows because i just bought it last year for nearly $300.... i cant imagine what is wrong with it tbh. These errors are so strange. I cant see any physical damage, the only thing that couldve happened is the card got pulled by the cables connected to it because they were too short, but how does that cause such strange faults?! I don’t get it. And i don’t want to replace it.
