Can No Longer Run Games/3dMark?!?!?

Hey Guys...

So I was running everything fine and had been for a few weeks now... After a short gaming period Friday night. I shut off my computer and went to bed. I left town until tonight and came home and loaded up GRAW...

My computer restarts itself...
Bottom line is that whenever I go to load something 3d like 3dmark or a game, I get an auto restart.

One of my case fans came loose and was resting on my video card. Only the corner of my fan was touching the video card and it didnt fall from very high (less than an inch...) so I do not believe this to be the source of the problems.
I am also running a WC loop but see and feel no signs of any leak. I have been running it for almost 3 weeks now and dont suppose that is the problem either...

I didn't change any of my OCs and had the system Prime and 3dmark stable on Friday...

I am currently reinstalling my drivers after a reseat of the card to see if that helps, after that I am going to toss in a spare HD and install windows on it and a game to see if that is my problem..?? Anyone got any ideas on what else i should try? Anyone else have any ideas on what could be the culprit? I am typing this on the computer, and it works fine until it goes to load 3d...

EDIT: I should really try to troubleshoot my own problems... I got it working with a reseat and reinstall the drivers...
 
I am glad you fixed the problem, but something you said bothers me.
How did a case fan come loose? Was it not screwed in with 4 screws?
