Hi everyone.
I'm having a problem where, when I plug in my monitor through a VGA cable and VGA-DVI adapter to my PC, i feel an electric shock on the case and on my external soundcard, which is a big problem since I feel that shock when i plug in my guitar to the soundcard.
If i disconnected monitor either through VGA or when I simply turn it off, the problem goes away. I have tried 3 monitors and they all give the same issue. I have a suspicion that it's my power outlet. My question to you is: is my power outlet grounded if it only has 2 prongs? Here is a picture:

This is in Pakistan. I know that there is a ground wire in the house for sure, and I am told by my electrician (who could be incompetent) that the outlet is grounded. My question is, can it be grounded with only 2 prongs?
If it can be grounded, then I can eliminate the outlet as the cause for the issue. Thank you!
