A few hours ago, I accidentally bumped into my monitor, which slightly knocked my PC. While it didn't move much, I heard some weird noises, and after restarting, my internet connection stopped working on both Ethernet and WiFi. I've tried reinstalling drivers, using command prompts, and setting the DNS manually, but nothing has worked. I'm really stuck and would appreciate any help!

Since you have no WiFi or Ethernet, it could be that your PCI card got dislodged during the bump. It might be worth reseating that as well. Let us know if you check it and what you find!
It sounds like something might have come loose inside your PC when you knocked it. Software resets won't help if there's a physical issue. You should open up your computer and check everything inside to see if any connections are loose or broken.
Make sure to check all physical connections. Issues like this usually stem from physical impacts. Reseat your RAM and GPU, and inspect all your cables and their connections. If you can, try swapping out cables with some known working ones.
