GPU restarting PC

[the_confused1]

Hi I recently acquired a 1080ti FE and it runs fine but when I close my side panel where the motherboard and PSU are seated (in the DAN case A4sfx) or nudge the the side panel the pc restarts/ turns off. This is not under any load just web browsing or idle. But when I do the same when using a 1080 FE that I have and do the exact same thing it does not happen. I have checked all the wires and they are  plugged in. Everything is the same when I do the GPU swap to test this.

 

Weird thing is everything runs smoothly with the 1080ti as long as I dont nudge the cpu/psu side panel. Its been under gaming load for long periods (this is when the side panel is open).

 

Any ideas? can it be a bad gpu?

Potentially bad PCIe contact, inspect the card carefully

I'll double check that but my 1080 is working fine right now. I've done the test multiple times so can't be that I seated the GPU differently everytime for the 1080ti specifically. I will check tho. but its only when i nudge the right side (CPU and PSU side) that restarts it and not the GPU side.
