Is this normal? I've knocked it a couple times with my leg and it reboots. Checked the external power cables and everything is tight.

That's not normal for any computer. There's a loose connection somewhere. Or a bad cable connector.

Please don't think I'm suggesting you're an idiot, but is the power cord plugged in securely?

No, I wouldn't say you're suggesting he's an idiot.
You are however suggesting that you should improve your reading skills.

Perhaps. But sometimes, the power cords feel like they're in, but they're not...

Another good suggestion, because some power cords just don't fit snug enough.
If these are not the cause, I'd suggest a loose connection of some sort inside or a short.
Check that all of the internal power cables are connected firmly to the motherboard.
I'm assuming it's not restarting gracefully...
