What is the cause of this problem?

Try re-seat your RAM, clean the contact point as well. 

Whenever my PC gets moved the wrong way (if i touch the back of my case a few times it seems to always do it, or sometimes if i even slam on the desk), my system freezes and plays a loop of the audio that was playing very distorted. If you've heard of a car going on a rocky road, that's exactly what it (TYPICALLY) sounds like. I have to hard-reset my PC (with reset button on case) in order for this to stop. Sometimes this only lasts for a split second, then the PC does a hard-reset by itself.

Strangely enough, this does not happen in the UEFI menu. I have yet to test this on Linux and regular UEFI applications.

I have attached an audio file of what it sounds like. When I look in Event Viewer, near the crash, it seems that for some reason the Event Log service gets started, the NTFS filesystem starts checking if a bunch of disks are okay and 'volmgr' tries to initialize a crash dump but fails.

I'll try that, but first I'll try just a regular UEFI application to see if it freezes too (it theoretically shouldn't; the BIOS menu is an UEFI app too)

The UEFI application ran just fine. Going to try linux now.
