Computer pushed over

[Opendome]

Hello everyone!

I was out doing some work and when I got back, my computer was leaning against the desk which it sits under and the wooden chair was pushed into the side. Someone I live with pushed my chair in so their 100 lb lab could look out the window and she must of shoved it over when she got excited. I'm really worried she damaged something and was wondering how I can check? What kinds of things should I look for?

Thanks for your help,
I'm kinda freaking out about it

If it was off, anything shy of dropping it should not cause issues.

Just use it and ensure it is all working right.

They ship these things all assembled and they take more than just getting slightly tipped into a wall/desk side.

If it works you are most likely safe BUT a visually inspect the parts for cracks and make sure they are securely seated in there slots. This would be the only things you can see.

Thanks for the replies guys! I really appreciate it, I don't know when it happened but I left in on when I went out but it usually goes to sleep about 15 minutes after but I don't know when it was pushed over. I'm kind of worried because of the size of the dog and the amount of force it takes to push the wooden chair into the side of the computer and large enough force to knock the entire tower over. Everything kind of looks ok (hard to tell) and I was wondering fi there was any software that can check the hardware? I ran a benchmark from passmark and compared it to my old score but the only difference was it was 10 points lower than it was when I ran it before on 2d graphics and about 30 points less than before on 3d graphics, and about 100 less on my SSD's disk mark. I was talking to someone on there and they said if hardwares damaged it will not work and they don't cause slight perfomance differences.

I'm also really paranoid about this stuff so it's hard to tell if it's working right.

Thanks again for your help guys, I really appreciate it and it's taking a big stress off my mind.

I wouldn't worry. I had a bozo drop my rig down TWO flights of concrete stairs when I was moving. I can't believe this guy was a paid professional. Also, it was not a lightweight machine. It was unharmed for the most part. A couple weeks later one of my video cards died, though. So, if my machine can survive a spill down two flights of stairs, you should be fine.

Than ks for your reply, that makes me feel a bit better. How do you tell if your video card is damaged/dying?

Sorry for the late reply. I don't know how to tell if a card is dying. But the video card just stopped working one day.
