Well wait, the monitor is the screen part, the CPU is the actual hard drive and such. Where exactly did it fall?

Well then what you need to do, is open up the side panel of the CPU, which should be fairly easy to access and do, and without touching any of the circuits or components, get the chip out. It shouldn't be too hard, unless you have a wacko computer that has a lot of extra hardware like mine did. Then the task might be harder.

DON'T SHAKE THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, and don't do this while it is on, you could damage the hardware.
The side panel is the easiest and most effective way to do it. It's how you fix any hardware problems. Even the professionals use it. That is what it is there for anyway. I watched my dad as he dismantled my old computer and he taught me all the technical stuff. Then I helped him with my [used to be] new one that is now in my brother's room because I have a laptop. So I know a good amount about computers.

Your computer tower case should just open, usually without a screwdriver. There's a trick to opening it though because it slides/pops into place.
If you have an internal card reader (one that's built in) it might be the case where the card is stuck inside that. If that has happened then you will probably have to carefully take apart the card reader, if possible.
Be careful. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, then I would suggest getting help from someone who has worked with computers before. >Note that doing this could possible result in damaging your card reader.<
Make sure that your computer is powered down and unplugged before attempting this.
(ps, it's never a good idea to move your computer when it's on. There are fragile parts moving around. Like the hard drive; where all your information is kept, it's constantly re-writing information (think of it as burning a disk) )
