I bought a used Asus laptop off Facebook marketplace (it was cheap), I'm not sure what's wrong with it but every time I open too many programs it restarts, and when I move the screen/pick it up (which shakes the screen a bit) it restarts, I'm not a computer "geek" so to say, so I'm not sure.

(I do know a bit about computers though, I'm not a boomer)
 
might be the hard drive or battery or battery connector or charger itself

Might be overheating as well, check temperatures within the BIOS
