If your computer powers off if you move it, then your connectors may be 
loose. Make sure the power cable and the power connector to the mother 
board are firmly attached. Test that moving the computer does not power 
it off again.

If your connectors are loose, kicking the computer accidentally may 
cause your problem. Also, make sure there is no garbage under the 
motherboard.
