So my pc was fine until today. When i reached inside of the case and touched the metal part,i got a tingling feeling on my finger. Like a vibration. But when i put multiple fingers on,i cant feel it anymore.Even after pluging out my psu,i still feel it but less. Any tips?(and just don't say buy a new psu bcs it is not an option)


Edit:The remaning tingling feeling(after i plug out psu) is from the DVI-D monitor cable. Even if i put it against the outer back part of the case,i still get the feeling inside of the case. What to do?

LOL I feel so stupid right now... The real problem was the extendment cable or whatever you call it. Basicly the one where you plug it in the wall(in my case in another one of those) and then istead of that one port you got like 3 or 4 or 5... So the one that my setup was pluged in was fine,but the one before that on was malfuncionning.If anyone else has this issue, you can feel free to post this solution so that they do not have to take apart and rebuild their pc like me. Thank you for all the answers!!
Yikes Tonije it seems like you have an electrical short. I would double check that nothing is lodged between the motherboard and back plane, as well as double check the vanity cover (the metal plate that surrounds all the ports on the motherboard) - a common issue is when a grounding finger for a USB port (supposed to rest on the OUTSIDE of the USB port) is instead poking inside it.
 
Ummm... What do you mean by outside of the usb port? Can i send you a picture of my ports becaouse i never dealt with that.

Edit: I think i got it. Is this it?

What and how can i do something to ground it. But what is weird that even the monitor cable pressed against the case is making the current or whatever float all over the case.
