If the card were faulty to begin with a power cycle could expose the issue. Other than that though there should be no issues with it. I've done it quite often myself.

For the movie issues, try uninstalling the GPU driver, then reinstall the latest if they were not them.

Hardwrae is pretty hardy. I have been playing with my OCs the last week or so and have had many BSODs and my hardware is fine. BSODs are harder on the system than using the power button as you did.
