Hi everyone, so I was playing a game, when my desktop computer fell a tiny bit, (the back slide off 1 inch) nothing really happened, when 30 seconds later or so, the computer has a big green screen flash and turns off. I turn It on, and it just says Reboot and select proper boot device. Idk what to do honestly, I've looked at tutorials on the web, nothing seems to work, can't seem to find any cables in the wrong spot, but yet again I'm new at technology.

Please help I need my PC to work.

If your PC fell enough to give it a jolt it probably destroyed your HDD. This can be confirmed by downloading Seatools for DOS on another PC and burning a bootable disk. On your PC open the BIOS and change Boot order to make DVD drive 1st, and run diagnostics from the disk. Personally I would just get another disk as you have the classic symptoms of disk failure.
