Hey all,
Have a really weird problem I'm dealing with here. Recently purchased new carpet and it's causing me to shock everything I touch after walking around for a few minutes. While this isn't much more than an annoyance, this is however causing my computer to shutdown if I sit down and touch it with my feet or hands. In by doing so, my start up then reports that my ASUS mobo can't use core unlocker and overclocking fails. Thankfully, a simple restart resolves the issue.
I am worried that continual exposure to this could harm my PC one way or another. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I did spend a ton of money on my new home build. Any suggestions for resolution? I did a quick search and came across a couple potential products. Would it make sense to put one of these under my desktop?
