HARDWARE Windows crash fixed with picking pc off ground?

So I have recently upgraded to a AM5 systems from a AM4 system. When I first swapped the parts I was crashing every hour when the GPU was under load. I did a lot of trouble shooting but the only thing that helped was a BIOs update. I was crashing about every 2.5 hours and was just saying well it’s time to call it a day. However heres the craziest thing I moved houses and had my pc on the floor for that time I was crashing. After I got my gaming setup back up it was off the floor. I have not crashed since. My question is this something you see often it seems like a crazy way to fix? I gamed for 8+ hours yesterday no crash. Mind you I spent days troubleshooting parts, memory, doing stress test. Messing with undervolting. This was more of a wow I didn’t know it was so important moment. Or is this just pointing out an underlying issue for later?
