He probably didn't move it easily, but if he did... the article explains why hard drives fail.
Ensure the PC remains stable after impact by inspecting all cables—monitor connections, back panel, video card, and USB ports. Verify USB connectors are fully inserted and properly seated. Disconnect the power supply if it triggers protection mode or similar behavior, then reconnect after a short delay. Confirm all connectors are correctly attached to the motherboard. Check SATA cables for proper alignment. Make sure the graphics card is securely placed in its slot. If issues persist, remove hard drives and retry. If problems continue, revert to a minimal setup with just the CPU and RAM, then test for debug codes or audio beeps from the speakers. Progressively add components until functionality is restored.
It seems like a brief electrical issue occurred, with a faint odor resembling a short circuit or power surge.
