It's hard to explain, but before there was a problem that the computer rebooted from touches / pushes / taps / wobbles. It could freeze, it could reboot, and it was not possible to identify the sequence: you can shake it and knock for half an hour and at least something, or maybe go into reboot from one light touch. Recently, the problem has practically disappeared, to a greater extent due to the fact that the computer has acquired its own place of residence and no one touches it. Today I noticed that by connecting or disconnecting any USB device, the computer goes into reboot or freezes. Something in the depths of my mind screams to me that the power supply is to blame in both the first and second cases, especially since the other day it began to rattle a little. Here, just in case, the characteristics of the computer:
Processor Intel Core i7-4770k
Mother MSI Z97 Gaming 5
RAM Kingston DDR3-1600 HyperX FURY Blue
Video card MSI GeForce GTX 770 OC
HDD Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200rpm
Power supply Chieftec CTG-750C

Occurs when connected to which USB ports? Only on the front side of the case, or on the motherboard itself, inclusive? Does it crash without BSOD? It is possible that the ports are short. Or the driver is broken.

Try to go into the BIOS and then plug in the flash drive - if it hangs (reboots), then there are obviously problems with the hardware.

There was a similar problem. Using the method of scientific poke, I determined that the problem is in static electricity, which we "wear" on ourselves. The computer then hung, then overloaded from a simple touch. In summer, the problem practically disappeared, because. in our area in summer the humidity is high and there is less static electricity. In winter, due to heating, the air in the house is drier and we are more electrified, so almost any touch was fraught. Connecting the computer to a grounded outlet helped.
