not sure what dictionary is that, but for me it shows:

	to bust:  "break, split, or burst (something)." origin: mid 17th
	century (originally in the sense ‘burst, break, fall to
	pieces’): variant of burst.

example sentences in google shows: "He busted his watch when he fell. I
think the camera is busted."

In one of the previous reviews I expressed my dislike for "wedged"
since I don't think it shows the true state of the GPU and suggested
"dead", but I like "busted" too.
