PC won't boot up.

My nephew's desktop was sitting on a small table which he knocked on to the floor in the middle of the night. He put it on the table in the morning but when he went to turn it on the computer would power on but the OS would not boot up. I replaced the HD with a extra one i had laying around my house to see if that was the issue but it wasn't. Any ideas what could be causing this?

thx

Took out the video card and used the on-board one and problem solved.
