So I was dusting my PC a little while ago, and it seems something has broken. The system starts fine, but when I went to stand it up and close the case it shut down. I assumed I'd not replaced the heat sink properly and it was simply overheating - but that wasn't it. It just shuts down whenever I stand it up, or give it a whack.
Should I be looking at the PSU or is some wire loose on the mainboard?

After an hour or two of playing around with cables, checking connections and hardware I've discovered the central nexus cable that comes out of the PSU is the culprit. When the cables are pushed up, the PSU runs. When they droop down, it goes off. So now, I am using a pencil (yes, a pencil) to hold up the cables inside the tower. Who would've thought?
