So like two months ago, my table collapsed resulting my computer to fall and slammed down on the floor. Picture for those who wanted to see the aftermath.

I installed new drivers to play the BF4 beta and the problem went away untill like 2 days ago, when I got AC4 and had to upgrade my drivers again. I have a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti card and my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3. Now to my question, does anyone else with this card have the same problem? Is this problem because of the card maybe being damaged from fall, and if so, why did the hardware problem go away with a software update? Sorry if I am not clear enough, I hope this make sense.
Something like that would more likely cause hard drive damage. Download HD Tune and check for "reallocated sectors" in the S.M.A.R.T. data.
I downloaded it but I can't find "reallocated sectors" nor "SMART data".
It's under the "Health" tab.
Okay found it Current: 252 Worst: 252 Threshold: 10 Data: 0 Status: ok
Well there aren't any bad sectors according to that, but you could still have some drive corruption. Try running a disk check on your drive.
Aside from what could be a damaged hard drive, did you open your computer and check if none of the parts were jostled loose by the fall?
Error check found nothing. Nothing is loose or anything, have checked all of it. But the problem seems to be gone now since one or two days. Haven't noticed anything atleast.
