Computer static problem

[charlielufc]

I opened up my pc because it had too much dust in and needed cleaning. I put it on my bed to open it up and then on my desk to clean it. I used compressed air to blow at dust and I used a shirt to wipe some dust from the inside. Now when I touch the case when the pc is turned on I sometimes get a static shock

The static shock may or may no be an issue. The main thing is that your PC chassis is grounded. Check this with a multimeter.

i do not have a multimeter. Is there any other way I can check?

Try swapping the power cord and see if the problem goes away. Also...make sure all plugs and outlets are 3 prong.

If the chassis is grounded and you are still getting zapped when touching it...the problem is you and not the computer.
