Information
Ever gotten a painful jolt form your computer? Many have and they will tell you it hurts, really. Then a common cause may be an improperly grounded computer system or a failed grounding wire on your house’s electrical panel. One more cause is the nasty habit of people(techies) to take out the third prong of the power chord(the round one) that should ground the pc but may be non-existent in some homes.
You could get a power supply(or AVR/UPS) that can provide you with ground so you do not get shocked. One more cause of this problem may be a pending failure of one of your computer’s components even if you do have proper grounding at the plug.
