This has to do with my other thread http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1644597/randomly-restarting.html#10616368

But back on topic, when i hit the table, purposely or on accident, it restarts similar to how it would if you hit the reset button... I've unplugged the power and reset cables from the motherboard but it still happened, I don't know what else it could be? I have an SSD mounted on the back of my motherboard tray. could that be it?

Sounds like you have a loose connection or a loose component, could be a loose card or a loose ram stick. So reseat all the memory, cards, cables, and make sure if you have a socketed bios to check to see it is seated all the way in as well. After that it could be a bad Ram stick so try just one stick and run memtest and if it still happens then try the other. After that it maybe a bad solder joint on motherboard component or a bad trace. You are going have to go though and systematically try to isolate the issue. In the other thread you said you already tested the power supply so it shouldn't be that...

Same thing happens to me, when I hit the table the right way the computer resets. Figured out that it's because the cord for the power strip is a little loose it the wall outlet (old building). It pulls out far enough to lose power for a second causing the restart. Might not apply to you, but check the power cables to make sure they are tight in the sockets.

An update, I took out my power and reset switches again, I took out all my RAM except for 1 4gb stick, and i bought a cable extension so my pc goes to the wall. So far no restarts for a few hours. I failed basic life by not doing 1 variable at a time but i will add to it to see what the problem is.! Will update

So I put back the reset and power cables, no random reset. Now the only factor left is the power strip or the other 2 RAM sticks, I'm updating incase people find this thread later on
