Dropped computer, still works fine but it boots weird. Should I be worried?.

Evening folks.

 

I had a PC on a dolly since we're all working from home, and it slipped and hit the ground. The thumb screws on one corner are bent and a thumbscrew holding the PSU on is also bent. Otherwise, superficial damage. 

 

The computer boots weirdly. It starts up for a second, turns off, then turns back on fine. Because of permissions, I have to hard shut down the computer and unplug it from the wall each night.

 

The computer works fine though, nothing is wrong once it boots. Should I be concerned?

If the case is the only thing that got damaged, its fine. Did the internals suffer any kind of damage? Such as the gpu, psu, motherboard(especially if the cooler was really heavy or is a really big tower) cracking, breaking off or bending? If not, it might be just fine. Though , dont take my word for it as something might actually got damaged. If its booting like that, it might be the psu. Though i cant say surely as i cant see the actual pc.

I'd make a backup just to be safe especially if its a hard drive, otherwise be on the lookout for weird issues that might pop up. Sometimes those issues can take a little while to manifest.

Cooler is not overly heavy and not a water cooler. I fear damage to the PSU only because it hit that corner and bent the thumbscrews . I also hear something like a breaker flipping when the computer turns on or restarts.

 

When I first booted it up at home it said I needed to boot through the bios. After that it's been doing the restart thing

Well mates I am now understandably concerned. I'll just fess up about the damage
