Ok so the story is I put together this PC. Everything except a GPU, I'm going to get that next week from a guy I know.

e7400
GA p43 ds3l
500gb sata HD
dvd writer
4 gigs mushkin ram, 800mhz
enermax 535 watt psu
scythe mugen cooler and a lian li a05b

Ok, put everything together and left it on a typical kitchen table size table. My brother kicked it off. Heatsink flew of the MB from the impact, no cracks or breaks on the MB. The only things that look damaged are the HS and the case. I plug it all in and get post sounds for a GPU and or display problem (because I don't have a gpu in it) is there a chance when I plug the GPU in next week it'll be messed up?
 
If everything looks intact you should be g2g.

Look to see if any capacitors have been bent out or something. Give the system a good visual inspection.
 
step one: take everything apart and re-assemble
step two: try to power up, pray it works
step three: kick your brothers ass!

tough break bro(hopefully not!)
 
Hey!, I did all of that. And it gave me the GPU error sounds. So everything seems to be ok so far, but I want some second opinions. PSU is good btw thanks:)



edit: what I'm trying to say is, is it possible that there's a serious problem and it's being set aside because of the GPU error beeps? or am I just paranoid?

It is possible there is a problem, but there's no way to tell until you can stick a video card in it. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Either there is or there isn't, but no point fretting over it. If you looked it over good and nothing seemed broken, then there's a good chance everything will work. We can't really help you other than offering assistance if there is a problem once you a stick a video card in. Good luck!
