cameronZombie,While unfortunately it does not help to overcome your problem the obvious must be stated. Computers (other than Panasonic Toughbooks) do not take well to severe impact.Obviously some thing is damaged internally. Now as to what it is that is the mystery. Something (if your lucky) might just be lose. How deeply you personally might wish to go into the bowels of the beast is a matter for you to decide.Your knowledge and experience should be a part of your decision as to whether you want to go that route.By the way welcome to the CH forums. truenorth
