I was adjusting my monitor and the cord flipped my computer over. never have i done this so yea im fretting. after it kept rebooting i gave it a bit and powered it up again and it got me to a bios using f1. from there i just exited and booted. got to my regular homepage stuff.

 

but then i tried to play valorant, and it gets lag that isnt usual, and lots of graphical glitches. most pretty small but their annoying the worst glitch is when spectating and clicking to go to a next person it's like the matrix.

 

also tried heroes of the storm and everything is graphically fine but it lag spikes every one second or so... and it doesnt let up at all

 

do you think it's the video card? anything i can download for cpu/gpu/w.e else and find out whats up? even twitch is now doing loading screens excessively and having trouble loading webpages sometimes just stuff that isnt usual.

Open it up, reseat your GPU, and check all your cables are firm and nothing fell out.

Shut it down, flip the PSU off, take the side panel off and re-seat the GPU, and the RAM, check all the other connections.  Make sure the CPU cooler is still firmly mounted.  Try again.
