I've noticed that my PC freezes whenever I hit my desk—it's become really sensitive. At first, I thought it was just because I slammed my desk hard out of frustration, but now even minor impacts like dropping my phone or pushing my seat can cause it to restart. I've checked the cables, but nothing seems loose. This started happening a few weeks ago after a particularly mad moment, and I really need to sort it out. I prefer not to change my behavior, so if anyone has ideas on what's wrong or how to fix it, I'd really appreciate it!

Did you really check every cable? Make sure to look at the cables connecting the GPU, power supply, and motherboard. Sometimes the GPU can get a bit dislodged, so pull it out and put it back in. It’s worth double-checking everything!
How old is your PC? If it's around 3 years, sometimes certain components can wear out and cause flaky behavior. Just a thought!
Around 3 years now, bought it from a friend.
It sounds like something inside your PC might be loose. I suggest reseating all the internal components like the GPU and RAM, just to make sure everything is snug! If your PC is that sensitive, it could lead to permanent damage if you keep hitting it. So, take a little time to check things out.
Will do, thank you for the advice!
Maybe there's a standoff screw at the back of the motherboard that’s misaligned. It could be causing a short whenever there’s a little vibration. It's a bit of a stretch, but definitely worth a look!
If you haven’t already, try reseating your RAM. Sometimes that can be the culprit for random issues like these. May not be what you want to hear, but it might help!
Thank you, I will check them all. I did check all external cables and most internal ones, looks like I might have to rebuild it to be thorough.
