Yes, static can damage components. Get your socket grounded. When touching anything in the computer make sure that you always have one hand on the case and that the case is plugged into a grounded outlet. You could alternately purchase an anti-static bracelet and attach that to the case instead.
Yes, I just found out that static can damage components, what I'd like to know now is that, has my pic received any kind of minor damage or anything because my socket being ungrounded? Because my pc restarted twice in 1 week.
It's possible that the PC restarting is related to Static Damage but there's really not way to tell directly. There are plenty of other issues that could cause a PC to restart that you'd have to prove aren't the cause first. One question, did the PC randomly restart shortly after you touched anything inside the case?
I think so, maybe, the next time it restarted when I moved the extension cord, the extension cord buzzed and then the pc restarted, I have a gigabyte z170 Xp ultra durable motherboard.
