Tower tipped over, RAM damage?
Last response: in Components
My seat broke and I fell on my back. I don't know how but I ended up pushing and making my computer tower tip over, but I held it so it didn't fall about 1 meter.
It did hit itself. I turned it back on and it loaded my desktop but I noticed (thanks to a desktop gadget) that the memory was working at around 70 - 80% when it usually does at around 40 - 50% so it was slow.
I thought about restarting the computer but when it shut off before rebooting it didnt boot, so I had to force turn off. Then I tried turning it on again and it froze on the "Starting Windows" screen. Re force-shut down. Turned it back on to restore startup, letting it finish. After that the computer booted normally but with high RAM usage again, so I enabled WMD and restarted the pc. (Had to force shut down again) WMD registered no problems.
What might be the problem? I need some help, please![:/]( ":/")
Thanks

more likely to be a hard drive error than RAM to be honest, RAM has no moving parts to be effected by movement. try running a chkdsk /f on the drive and see what you get!True dat. And if that shows errors, use a backup drive to get everything you can off your current hard drive before replacing it.
