Desktop Fell on it's side: Grainy Display

[liveone]

Well, somehow my mouse wire got caught under a desk I was moving and instead of the mouse coming out of the PC, it took the whole thing down! It tilted right over on its side and made a pretty loud thud (custom tower PC). It didn't shut off or even perform differently.

It wasn't until I was on Youtube that I noticed the image was a littttle bit grainy. So, I checked out some HD movies that I have on my PC and they don't even look like they are HD content anymore 🙁. Now that I notice things are grainy, it is unbearable...looks like crap. Standard videos look like VCD, HQ videos now look standard, and HD videos barely look HQ and sometimes fall just short.

I have no money to replace anything, so am I royally screwed? What could the problem be? Would reconnecting my Video Card help? Reinstalling drivers? I doubt it, but I gotta reach here...:/ In case it helps, performance hasn't been affected at all. Any thoughts appreciated.

To be even more specific upon closer inspection, the "graininess" comes in the form of squares. If i zoom in (sometimes I don't have to and you can see large squares throughout the entire image) on a picture its entirely made up of tiny squares and its noticeable (when i have to zoom at all) at only about 50% zoom. When i go full size on a video, you can clearly see squares and they aren't tiny at all.

and i would try to make sure everything is secured and not loose first (unplug the whole thing eh, before you zap ur self)
