PC reboots when tapped/ bumped

[baby0.0Yoda]

Hello beautiful people.

 

I have a strange issue that often when I bump/ tap the PC Case, my computer reboots. Initially I thought it's some sort a loose connection problem so did the usuals on reseating all connections howevever the problem has not gone away.

 

I then booted the PC in bios and tried the same bumps and this time it did not reboot. In fact I was much harder on it but still it did not happen.

 

Started the PC back to windows and on just the second slap surely enough rebooted again.

 

Any ideas please for the next thing to try?

 

My setup:

Window 11 Pro

CPU : Ryzen 2700X

MB: MSI B450 Gaming pro carbon

PSU: Corsair RM650x

GPU: MSI 3070Ti Gaming X

Boot HDD: Samsung 980 NVME

Also have a secondary NVME + 2 SSDs + 2HDDs

Case: Lian-Li LANCOOL II Mesh

RAM: Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB

it is usually caused by your PSU cable isnt plugged in al the way. Check the main power cable is plugged in properly

Main PSU cable is defo checked and confirmed all the way in. As said when on BIOS, PC does not reboot.

I think its might be your Psu. What is the temparature in bios. Damaged Psus will shut off during load. But before assuming psu is bad can you boot into some form of linux installation or somethink then we can make sure this isnt windows being weird.
