Don't try again to touch your PC components , when the computer is running. You can do damage by discharging electricity on them.

Here's an informational thread about static electricity and PC components : http://www.howtogeek.com/169994/how-to-protect-your-pcs-hardware-from-static-electricity-when-working-on-it/

When you're deciding to open your computer , make sure to hold your hand on the case for electrical discharge , then you can safely touch the components.

Also the computer needs to be completely unplugged before opening!

While working on your PC, leave it plugged in to a grounded outlet (in other words, a three-prong outlet). Be sure to turn its power completely off using the main power switch on the power supply, which you’ll likely find on the back of your case — not the power button you use every day. Before touching any internal components, touch a metal part of your computer case with your hand. This will ground you, neutralizing your static charge. You should now be able to work without worrying about static electricity. To be extra careful, just touch the case occasionally to keep your static charge neutralized and ensure you remain grounded. You could also keep one hand touched to the case the entire time if you were really paranoid — that would keep you grounded the entire time.

You didn't even bother to read the thread you provided a link for?

You should always leave it plugged in but turned off!

If you get a shock from the chassis it usually means you have a bad/no ground. Is the outlet that the computer is plugged into grounded?
