Troubleshooting My PC: A Frustrating Restart Experience

I recently encountered a perplexing issue with my desktop computer that I never paid much attention to until now. Occasionally, whenever I slam my hand on my desk or accidentally drop something on it, my PC unexpectedly restarts. I brushed it off as nothing significant—until today. After a particularly emphatic hand slam, my system rebooted, displaying a message that read, “This PC needs to be repaired” and indicated that it was missing something called “kernels.”

I proceeded to shut down my computer, anticipating a simple reboot would resolve the situation. However, upon attempting to power it back on, my screen remained blank, showing only a “no signal” message.

My Computer Specs:

• Motherboard: MSI Z270 M5
• Graphics Card: RTX 2070 Super
• Processor: Intel i7-7700
• RAM: 16GB TridentZ
• Power Supply: CM 850W Gold
• Storage: 256GB Kingston SSD
