Effects of minor knocks

[Kieran10]

Hey,
So my computer is in an awkward position and it gets knocked very minorly. Can this make parts loose like ram and gpu?

Knocked? Can you describe?

Provided everything is secure, minor bumps etc should be (mostly) ok..... but not exactly ideal. I wouldn't expect a GPU or RAM to be going anywhere from bumping into a tower or anything.

Obviously, ideally you'd move it somewhere where it won't get "knocked" but, since you're asking the question, I assume it's not possible?


Any impact to your harddrives though, especially repeated/frequent "knocks" could damage them beyond repair.

Very Very Minor its just slightly wobbles not much to really notice. I'm just worried.

What causes it to wobble? You could try putting something under the base/feet to keep it a little more sturdy, but a little wobble isn't likely to hurt anything.
