Hello, so the issue I am having is that sometimes my display gets no signal on HDMI. I have some knowledge of computers but I can't seem to figure out the issue and wanted some advice to figure out what's going on.
So I've narrowed down when it happens to when it shakes for lack of a better term. When I walk into the room or just am walking around in the room it's in it will occasionally just HDMI no signal and requires me to hold the power button on the tower to turn it off and back on. I'm fairly certain it's from it shaking as well because I can get it to HDMI no signal by just moderately hitting on my computer chair armrest. It will also occasionally black screen but then turn back to normal after a few seconds, this seems to happen around the time that within a few days the HDMI no signal happens.
The only temporary solution I've found is pulling out the graphics card and putting it back in, and then it won't happen again for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. At one point near the beginning of this problem, it just wouldn't get any signal at all no matter how what I tried which was when I first tried to pull it out and put it back in the card and thought I had fixed it until it happen again a few weeks later. This also prevents it from doing HDMI no signal when I do things like slap my chair armrest, until the problem starts up again.
This makes me think the graphics card is loose, but I've made sure its properly in place, and it has 3 screws, so I don't know. I don't hear much of a clicking sound so am I just doing it wrong maybe?
Things that I have tried include:
PC is less than a few months old, prebuilt.
Thank you for your time and your help.

Things that I have tried include:
- checking drivers are up to date
- uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
- Trying different monitors and different HDMI cords
- Updating BIOS
