PC shutting off

Hey guys, I recently built my brother a pc, with a new case, motherboard ( a gigabyte b350 ds3h) ,a Ryzen 5 1600AF, and the VS450 and gtx 1050 from his previous system.

It booted smoothly and worked perfectly the first day. Since yesterday though he's been complaining about his pc rebooting at random. While initially under the impression it could be a driver problem, he has now found out that it reboots whenever the table the pc sits on takes even a small hit. Tried it myself, and it indeed rebooted by hitting the table. What could the problem be? If there were a cable or something coming off, why does it reboot with no problem right after?

 

also, his pc didn't turn on like 5 minutes ago, and I managed to turn it on by pushing in the power cable. That might be unrelated though

I think so. I have also tightened it on previous shutdowns
