Static Shock sends computer awhirring...

[Killr_Caboose_2014]

So, I have had this computer for about 4 years now. the specs are as follows: Corsair case (forget the exact name, but the case has 2 dust screens on the bottom, one at front, side acrylic display panel with 2 side fan vents and vents up top), Corsair RM750, I5-4690K, Invidia GEForce GTX760, Asus Z-870 pro MOBO, crucial SSD and a Seagate 1TB HHD. It is Plugged into a TVSS-1 330V Power strip with my monitor and speakers into a wall outlet. I have shocked the case a couple times in the past and nothing has ever happened. This time, the air was especially dry inside the house and I had been walking on the carpet a lot. I touched the case to settle back the side panel to keeping it from rattling and "snap" static shocked the side panel. It sent my computer into black screen and the fans all started whirring fast. I shut it down, flipped the power switch after I unplugged it and then turned it back on and it seems fine. I wanted to know if there may be some lingering effects or a potential other issue (first time this has happened with any electrical equipment, everything else in the home works fine with no shock or feeling tingly) and how to check for any potential issues with my computer.

Thanks

Probably not. I would get a fault tester for your wall's electrical outlet to make sure you are getting proper ground, then make sure you have peoper grounding for your mainboard, and your PSU is metal to metal to the chassis. If you have a cheap power strip, dump it. Get a good battery backup.

maybe the outlet may be going bad? that ever happen in a home? I believe that the mobo and psu are metal to metal contacts in the case (used metal screws and did the installation just like it is shown in the directions and youtube videos, never used any other components other than what came out of the box). could the shock have been enough just to knock things off kilter but then it protected the components by feeding the charge back through the case? It just freaked me out since this was the first time a shock caused this...
