my pc turns off when i shake my desk

[Idkwhattodowithmylife]

Whenever I accidentally shake my desk, my hp prebuilt from 2013 shuts off completely. I do not know what is going on, and it takes a solid 15 minutes to boot, so it is very annoying when it shuts off.

Make sure all the cables are secure, and put the computer on the floor if you can. You might need to dig inside the computer and make sure that all the connections in there are tight, over 9 years they might have gotten a little loose

Id agree with this then, has it ever totally dropped before? if so possible something wiggled loose inside but check the cables first

ive never dropped it, it is my one and only computer so even when putting it on the floor to clean, i am willing to squish my fingers so it never impacts the ground
