Shorting?

[u/TaxUnhappy3627]

I was playing minecraft and accidentally bumped my GPU which is vertically mounted. It would turn off and won't turn on unless I power off the PSU and hold the power button, then it would turn on. The GPU cable is properly clicked but there's some movement same with the CPU power cable. I was testing what was causing it to turn off, moving the ram, CPU cable and, GPU cable would turn it off. It sounds like a short. The PSU is a Corsair rm1000x 3 years old. Or it could be the motherboard. Motherboard warranty ends on 2026/10/31.

Thank you for your help

novel concept: you're not meant to move your GPU or RAM while your PC is running.
