My dad's computer.

Yes, Dad + Computer = Disaster.

A wire was loose at the back or something, just the printer I think.
Now, the tower is on like a shelf around 2-4 inches off the ground.

He just hoofed it out, badoompf.

Now, it won't start up.

I looked inside, and the Gfx card wasnt plugged in porperly, as it wasn't screwed in securely.
I sorted it, and thought that it'd be it.
But it wasn't.

The computer starts buzzing, the fans go on etc... but then it starts to like beep.
I've had this before when I replaced a Gfx on my comp a while ago - putting it back in securely sorted it.

Everything is in properly, securely, all wires and hardware etc.

So what the hell is wrong?

Help!

The question is - What are you going to do now with that graphics card? You could take it back if its still under warrenty.
