electric shocks from PC

by Sungi • 10 Jun 2011, 13:19 • Journals
Sometimes when my leg hits the metal parts on the back of my computer, I get a little burn or something. It feels a little like electric shock, and the metal parts aren't warm at all. Also when I plugged something in the USB port, I felt small current going through my fingers when I was plugging the cord in.

Is it dangerous and what should I do about it?

I'd rather wear rubber boots since it hurts my legs way often than my hands

TBH I'm curious about the setup for your computer, take a pic or something, can't you rearrange your computer desk?

If there's any way to put it on your desk next to your computer you probably should. But, you should turn off your computer and check the plugs to make sure the wiring isn't damaged.

Electricity is leaking to your case, might blow up some day or fry it.
