I had a solid WiFi connection until a few hours ago when I accidentally knocked my monitor which then jostled my PC a bit. It wasn't a big hit, but suddenly I heard some odd noises from the PC. After restarting, I found my Ethernet and WiFi connectivity completely gone. I've tried reinstalling drivers, using command prompts to troubleshoot, and manually setting the DNS, but nothing seems to work. I'm really stuck here and would appreciate any help! Thanks a lot!

Your efforts sound great, but just to be sure, check all electrical connections. Sometimes, a physical impact can affect even small things like memory sticks or power connections. Inspect the cables and their pins too, and swap them with known good ones if you can! Going physical is the way to go here!
Are you concerned that your WiFi card might be damaged? It's definitely worth checking. Make sure all connections are secure, and don’t hesitate to share your specs if you think it might help diagnose the issue further!
If both WiFi and Ethernet are gone, your PCI card could have shifted. This sort of physical impact usually doesn't just mess with settings – it can cause real damage. It might be time to take a closer look at the physical components.
It sounds like that bump may have caused something inside your PC to get loose or damaged. Just resetting things in the software won't help if there’s a physical issue. You might want to open up your PC and take a look inside. Check for any disconnections or components that might have shifted out of place.
