    make sure to do a CHKDSK after a forced shutdown.

    make sure to run Command Prompt as administrator
    - then type:
    CHKDSK C: /F
    - say yes
    - restart the computer and it should scan for HDD errors.

    If it only happens when you jostle it, it will be the hard drive. Do an actual integrity check using a program like HDTune.

    Yeah sounds like the HDD is defective or damaged. Make sure you have backed up your important data, as you may need to get a new HDD.
