PC that turns off at the slightest jolt

Hello, I hope you find a solution. For a few months now, every time my desk moves or my knee hits underneath it, my computer starts making a loud noise, my screen goes dark, and I have to restart it for everything to go back to normal. As time goes on, the small shakes are becoming more serious, and I'm starting to experience serious bugs in games, which worries me a lot. I'm relying on you.

Hello
A problem that has been ongoing for several months can hardly be considered "urgent".
Moreover, the participants in this forum are volunteers; they respond based on their time and their willingness....
Regarding the issue, it is clearly a bad connection, which could be at the level of the cable, the wall socket, the socket on the PC side, etc.... all parts of the PC's power supply chain need to be tested, including the power supply itself, moving everything little by little until the culprit is found.

Hello.
This does indeed seem like a loose connection, but I wouldn't localize it in the power supply. A 220 volt cut causes a sudden shutdown of the PC, and that doesn't seem to be the symptom here.
I would rather lean towards a connector on the motherboard.
You need to open the PC after unplugging it from the wall and then check all the connectors, internal cards, RAM, and CPU.
