I built a system at the beginning of last year.
Specs
-ASUS M5A97 R2.0
-Crucial BX100 250GB SATA 2.5" SSD
-AMD FX 8350 4.0ghz 8 core
-Zotac GeForce GT 610 Synergy Edition ZT-60601-10L Video Card 2GB DDR3
-Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB Desktop Memory - DDR3 1866
-Thermaltake TR-700 700W Power Supply ATX 12V
-Thermaltake Versa H23 Mid-Tower Case w/ Window
-LG 14X Blu-Ray Burner

Now upon purchasing a new tv and putting it on a new tv stand, the computer was knocked off the entertainment center hitting the tv stand and putting a dent in the top of the case. Of course panic set it, and i took the computer apart, checking pins and ensuring that nothing had come loose and everything seemed fine. It operates fine until I put it under a load, either trying to stream with my el gato capture card, or running games on it. 1 of 2 things happens. Either the video freezes completely, mouse and keyboard are unresponsive, or a blue screen of death. I'm trying to figure out if its better to try and slowly buy and replace pieces, or to just build a new system instead.

Hmm, that's what I would have assumed was the issue. Interesting. Did you notice any other damage with the RAM, or any cable connections? Any visible damage to the motherboard (popped capacitors, etc)?

Nothing really seemed out of place and no noticeable damage. For a few months the issue went away where I was able to stream and game no issues, however it's back now and I don't get more than a few minutes into a stream before one of those 2 things happen, or the El Gato software itself crashes.

Strange. If you were running with a mechanical hard drive I would say that's been damaged by the fall, but since you're running an SSD there's no danger of that happening. Frankly I'm flummoxed here.

Yeah, I've been the same way for a while now. When I get the blue screen errors again i'll post exactly what it says. I was leaning towards processor or the socket itself being damaged from the jar of impact, but suppose that could be any part of the motherboard.
