Computer is restarting after touching the case's side panel or even if i put my elbow on the desk it reboots (yeah i know, it sounds weird but that's what happens) I don't know what's going on, computer can be on for hours if i don't really make contact with the case (i've put it directly on the floor and it's working fine unless i touch the side panel or knock it, i mean, i can connect usb to usb ports and other cables but if i start touching the side panel it will restart) I'd be grateful if someone helps me, haven't found a solution yet.
 
Solution
Check the 12v ATX cable, also check the CPU Power connector. Re-check it and make it fasten. if the problem continues, maybe there's a problem with your PSU and/or your motherboard.

Well, today i connected the PSU to another computer and it was working fine, now i reconnected it to my computer and i made sure everything was correctly connected and fasten. Surprisingly, computer is working fine by now. I have put it again on my desk, i have tested it (i have touched the case/hit the desk) and it isn't restarting. I'll be testing it for a week if not less, if everything is fine, then i will pick your answer as the solution. Thanks for the help
