PC shutting off after light bump

[Smegmantas]

Specs:

MB: H310M DS2

CPU: i3-8100

RAM: HyperX 16GB 2400MHz

GPU: GTX 1060 3GB Asus Dual OC

SSD: Apacer 340 120GB (boot drive)

HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM

 

The main gist of the problem is every time I bump my pc, it shuts off. My main idea is that my HDD is acting up. Need help with this ASAP.

Is it possible to move the tower to a place out of the way where you won't bump it as often?

Instant shut-offs when you bump your computer definitely isn't a hard drive problem. I'd bet either the CPU has a bad connection with the socket, the GPU has a bad connection with its slot, the RAM has a bad connection with its slots, or a power cable is loose.

 

If you want to try to fix it, back up everything important, cross your fingers, and start reseating things, but with a computer so close to the edge that bumping it turns it off, there's a very real chance that messing with it permanently breaks whatever connection is barely holding itself together.

Also another thing, when it shuts off, my fans continue spinning, I can hear everything going on, just no display output. Then I have to force a shutdown

That would indicate a GPU problem to me. Try pulling your GPU out and putting it back in again, and do the same with the GPU power connectors.
