No. Not normal. You should never do that, by the way.

If it is not normal, what should I do? Is there a malfunction in the motherboard?

Touching internal components should not cause a restart/shutdown. You could have caused a static discharge. You may also have a grounding issue.

Has the system been working properly otherwise?

Yes the device works fine otherwise

So what should I do? Does the computer need repair?

Sounds like you just need to not poke around inside your running system and you'll be fine.

If you want to poke around, power down and disconnect power from the system.
