For some reason, if I stand up from my computer too fast, my computer just freezes completely. I can't even move the mouse. It's like a BSOD without the BSOD. Basically the kind of freeze you'd expect when your computer gets bonked pretty hard. But that's not what's happening.

As you can see, my computer is on a nice little stand a good distance from my chair and desk. While it's not clear from the picture, there's a good 5 inches between the computer stands and the leg of the desk touching it, so I can shake my desk ad chair as much as I want and the computer doesn't feel it in the slightest. I can also shake and jostle my computer as much as I want and it also doesn't crash.

Yet for some reason, every single time I've hurriedly dashed out of room, I come back to find the computer frozen solid. At first I assumed it was coincidence, and that something was just wrong with the hardware. But after a few times I noticed it only ever happened when I'd left the room in a hurry, and this most recent time, I noticed it immediately after jumping out of my chair, as the youtube video I had been watching stopped.

I've checked all the cords and while they're a mess, they're firmly connected. The cords to the computer, the cords to the power strip, and the power strip to the wall.

I'm so confused.
