My roommate's computer (his secondary) just took a tumble off the top of my Thermaltake Armor case. The acrylic plastic making up the case cracked. The computer was powered on at the time. Only random crap on the screen now. I know the HDD is gone (probably a head crash), what about the videocard/CPU? Data was backed up, only a little bit of music etc and a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP2.
 
man what CPU, if it is an AMD socket A... or a p4 432 or something without an IHS than the core could be cracked from the HSF..

video card could have cracked.... or broke the AGP, PCIe slot....

i dont know man... not good
 
The videocard is dead, it turns out. Any way to tell if the AGP slot is going to kill the next card we put in? Or would it just not work?
