Recently I noticed that my computer suddenly shuts down. First I thought it overheats. But after digging a bit deeper I found the reason.
When someone nudges the computer it switches off (like you hit the power switch). It doesn't need to be a hard knock/bump. So it seems like a hardware failure, but I have no idea where to look further.
Has anyone of you noticed such behaviour? What can be the cause?

It sounds like a loose connection somewhere or a broken wire. I would just try nudging every wire you can, narrowing down the problem.
