if its just it shocking you a bit when you touch it anywhere its normal, its a phenominon known as static electricity and isnt dangerous

#

unless that static hits the components

#

how likely is that to happen?

#

Even the I/O panels are shocking me

rigid yacht
#

as long as you dont touch the components its good

#

I don’t think it is static tho

#

Im barefoot when touching the pc

#

and the psu shocked me too when i accidentally touched it

well how can I get rid of it?

#

pc is freezing completely and I have to remove the cmos battery and put it back for it to work again correctly

#

oh then idk

kind agate
#

I don’t get shocked if I touch anything metallic tho

#

does it has something to see with the pc?

#

You dont get shocked because the electricity goes from the pc, to your body and to the metalic thing

#

If you dont touch anything metalic the electricity only can go to your body

#

Your pc freezing its probably not from that tho, cause I have that too and my pc works fine

#

When does It freeze?

#

Gaming, YouTube, idle, anytime?

#

If gaming, maybe temps, if anytime, maybe RAM is a little dusty

If it shocks you every time you have a short.

#

Rebuild it.

check for cables that are loose and touching the case

or maybe, guys, he has some cable touching his case, the resistance of his body and whatever is in the middle between his fingers and the deadly electricity is making it soft enough to not kill the guy, because for him being killed, he need to touch both neutral and phase cable, something that he aint doing, his body is probably being used as a conductor between the phase and the ground, and when he touches the computer he's probably causing some emf of some sort that destabilize the fragile operations of the cpu or ram, or whatever

#

@kind agate if you're not some dude that can understand electricity stuff, I'll take the pc to a repair center and make it being check for eventual broken cables

#

I connected the pc to a different outlet

#

it didn’t shock me

#

When I connected the extension to the same outlet it started shocking me

you might wanna call an electrician.

#

now it doesn’t shocks me anymore

#

but windows freezes after I start

There are outlet testers to see if you have a grounding issue on that outlet. Once you’ve resolved that, open another thread for Windows freezing if it still occurs.
