Unfortunately, kicking a computer could have caused any kind of damage.. Dislodging cables, damaging connections, damaging the hard drive, damaging the motherboard, etc. Your est bet is to take the cover off the machine, reseat all connections, then start testing each component, one at a time.
Best bet...don't kick the computer.
Hope this helps.

Ever since I first booted up my computer, it's was freezing up quite a bit. By freezing I mean the screen freezes on whatever is open at the time. My perephrials stop working as the screen is frozen. My computer itself continues working like normal. All fans and lights act fine. There is nothing I can do other than hold the power button down to turn it off. After getting a new stick of RAM, it ran fine for about 9 days straight of everyday use (7+ hours every day). However, today, I accidently kicked the case and it froze again. I know its not a big deal as it was only a one time thing, but if anyone has any insight on something like that, I'd appreciate a reply on why something like that would happen.
Maybe it could be the hard drive? The area I kicked it was directly against the hard drive so my guess is that.
