[SOLVED] Electricity on my pc

[n.nasoulas]

Hello, recently i built my new pc on a zalman s2 and now i get shocked (a little bit) whenever i touch the computer case and i get a bit more shocked whenever i touch an unconnected 3.5mm cable (speaker). Do you have any idea on why im having this problem?

Sounds like you are using an ungrounded outlet.

I'd guess there are a ground fault either in the PSU or the amplifier.

However, it help knowing what the main voltage system is.

Anyway, it can be a ground fault somewhere in the electrical system and if this is a problem in other places where you live, I'd recommend get an electrician to assess the issue and hopefully locate the actual fault before it getting more dangerous than it need to be.

Had pretty much the same issue on my old system. It turned out the outlets in my room were not grounded. Got them grounded and the issue went away.
