small shocks when touching IO Shield

[JaspherIan]

So I bought a new PC (My first Computer)
custom but I had it assembled by someone else.
I'm worried if somethings wrong with the components, or unused cables touching something else?

This is my rig

the PSU and HDD+SSD are covered
PSU is thermaltake 600w
is there something wrong with my PSU?

My case is placed ontop of an old wooden cabinet, and my room is tile floored.
Is this a common issue? because I sometimes get shocked from other rigs too.

Thanks

Is your Mobo on standoffs?

sounds strange but the most common cause for getting shocked by a system is the clothing you are wearing rather than a problem with the rig itself, if you wear a lot of nylon that could be your problem.

Its EARTHING. There's nothing wrong with your PC. Contact an ELECTRICIAN to get an EARTHING.

Have your AC wall outlet checked for proper wiring.

If some idiot wired it incorrectly you'll end up getting shocks and a possible electrocution hazard.

i would make sure you didnt short out the motherboard by shocking it. make sure all parts of your motherboard work like ethernet and all usb ports are working fine. if not you are fine.

Im not using mobo standoffs I think
I also got a small shock when I touched the side panel Case screw while unscrewing it

My PSU is connected to a 500W AVR.
The AVR is connected to an extension cord. (is this right?)
And the extension cord is connected to the wall outlet.
I think its the outlet, since It hasn't been checked for 5+ years

not using motherboard standoffs is a BIG no no. they are really important, they keep your motherboard from shorting out from touch the metal on your case. to be honest if you didnt use standoffs you might have already done damage to major components. dont use your computer till you use motherboard standoffs. or you risk breaking your pc.
