Remote computer frozen. Unable to restart for few days. Advice?

Hi all,

I use teamviewer to remote into my desktop while away. I went on a long roadtrip and just got to my destination and went onto teamviewer to check my computer and it is frozen. I had been mining coins and had undervolted and underclocked my vid card as a precaution for being away. I had a weird problem when checking my gpu temp after restarting a program. The temp kept dropping quickly while the gpu was on full load which wasnt right so I did a remote reboot. After the reboot it ended up freezing and I am unable to find it on teamviewer anymore.

I am assuming my pc is frozen. Luckily i did not restart the mining program after I rebooted but I am concerned for my pc being on several days frozen without any supervision. Is this a problem that can cause damage? Fire hazard? I can call maintenance in my apartment complex to come turn it off if I have to but they wont respond for probably another day. Should I just wait until I get home in 3 days?
 
You just wait. Unless you have a familyy or friend you trust to be your eyes, ears, and hands...Sucks, but I've been there. It won't damage your machine to leave it like that. My rule of thumb is this, don't make any changes before leaving...if it ain't broke..don't fix it. Based on your description, underclocking and undervolting the gpu...I would be it's stuck on a POST error.
