Odd issue of PC resetting if I bump it. Any ideas?
As title says. It's not the power plug, and it isn't a powerboard I'm plugged into or anything. I'm thinking either something isn't grounded properly, or my PSU is junk. It's a Silverstone Strider plus 600w.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue or has any insight. Thanks.

Have you checked that all of the following are fully plugged in and seated properly onto the clip:
24pin plug from PSU into motherboard (usually right middle of the motherboard)
4/8pin plug from PSU into top left of motherboard (CPU power)
PCIe plugs from your PSU to your graphics card
I just checked, everything is plugged in fine. Could one of the mobo stand-offs be causing this?
If you have installed the standoffs it should be fine.
Have you checked the plugs from the front of your case into the motherboard? I.e. for the reset and power buttons. Also check the wiring of the power / reset button itself.
You may also remove the connection of the reset button from your motherboard and see if that works. That button is pretty useless anyway and if it is faulty that's a quick and easy fix.
