Idk what could be loose but any time there is a heavy vibration the screens go black and the computer fans go maximum its like its trying to save itself from overheating but this thing is 3 months old, something has to be loose but i have reseated everything twice, what could cause this. its usually when i sit to hard in my chair or walk to hard running up to my desk to get back to my game fast from a drink break or something.

Your connectors may all be tight, as you said you replugged them all. However something is still lose. It could be some sort of contact between any number of boards, cabling, etc. that could be accidentally touching the ground plane/case chassis body when vibrations happen. This kind of problem requires a lot time and lots of careful observation. Hopefully it is not because some cable is fraying because it is pinned between some metal plates and is now depending on the vibration making contact with the case/ground plane.

I'm not sure, the issue with fans is related to HDD receiving vibrations.
I'm just saying - your HDD can get damaged this way.

As to about the fan issue ..
it's possible cpu cooler is becoming loose because of the vibrations.
If so, then contact between cpu and cooler would become weaker, cpu temperature would rise and fans would start spinning faster.

Try to monitor temperatures. You can use MSI afterburner for that.

Let me tell you a joke, OP:

So, a man goes in to the doctor, and he says "Doctor, it hurts whenever I do this!" as he bends his arm and elbow. The doctor, having spent years in medical school quickly decides on a course of action. "Well then," he surmised, "you best stop doing it. Make sure to pay the receptionist on your way out."

What is being emphasized here, just to make sure you're aware: While it's a strange problem for a PC to have.... if you're causing issues with your HDD by doing it... you should probably stop doing it intentionally. You could damage your data.

im not doing it intentionally its odd that sitting down at my desk is when the problem occurs thats why i dont think its heating issues, i feel like its something to do with that, is there anyway i can check which thing is failing in logs somewhere so i can secure said component

i think it was the wifi card i had in the pcie slot since it was too close to the gpu in the other slots, i will see if the problem persists now that ive removed it since i use ethernet anyway

still having the problem but here are some images of what i think it is
yes i see the dust no i dont think thats the problem just yet but look at how far my pcie cables are poking off of my graphics card https://imgur.com/a/ySEq4 when i put the glass panel it even moves the graphics card a bit, i think the stress on from the graphics card to mobo are causing an issue with cooling etc. i will leave the side panel off and see if the issue persists and if it does then this must be it.
