I bumped my pc and now I have no display (it turns on normally tho)

[mrdeathsins]

Whenever my pc gets hit on the front or the desk gets hit and the PC takes some bump, the PC freezes completely. Not just the display, it literally dies (the image freezes). This would very commonly happen, and it was easily fixable by simply rebooting.

However this is the second time after ~2 years that it won’t come back to live with a simple reboot. The first time I literally spent the entire day looking for fixes related to opening the case but what ended up fixing it was three strong punches in the front of the pc case. I have already tried that and it didn’t work, which is why I’m here.

(**the PC turns on but produces no display, no DVI signal, that’s what happens in case I wasn’t clear**)

I’ve read a lot and it seems I have something poorly connected or not connected at all / loose.

Btw I think the immediate front of my pc case has the data drives (someone built it for me, I’m a noob).

Please help me figure out a fix, thanks!

Additional info: I shut down the pc and somehow my mouse has its LED lights on.. could this mean anything? It’s connected via USB to the PC.

You keep on punching it and wondering why it went down for the count ???
There's obviously something loose in there and when some parts get loose under the power they tend to die and even pull other parts down with it. Hard disks are also sensitive, heads can crash and ruin data and/or whole disk.

i would suggest you power down the PC, unplug it, use a anti static band, and open up the pc. take a close look at everything, even going so far as to unplug and then remounting connections. sounds like something is loose, depending on how hard you hit the desk/pc just like countmike said something is probably dead.
