Hello everyone,
I just finished building my gaming PC and noticed I'm getting shocked when I touch some metal parts of peripherals which is plugged in. I first wanted to plug in my headset at the back of my motherboard, there are two jacks one for mic and one for audio. When I inserted one of the two I wanted to insert the next one. I touched it by the audio jack (the metal part) and it shocked me. The longer I hold on to it the longer it'll shock me. The same thing happened when I wanted to plug in the antenna to my motherboard for the WiFi thing (I've got a Z390)
I've read so many things on the internet that I should take everything apart again and put it back together, that there is something wrong with electricity wires in my house and I don't know what else. To answer some common questions you guys might ask, I'll answer them for you.
I've got no carpets or anything static near me
I live in Thailand so the weather here is humid
The PC is standing on a wooden table
My PC and monitor are both plugged in a power extension cord
My specs:
RTX 2080 MSI Gaming X Trio
intel i7 8700
16 GB of RAM
Thermaltake 750W PSU
Asus ROG Strix Z390
Also can someone tell me what "grounding" means? I've read it on all different kind of posts but I couldn't a proper definition for it. (Sorry my English isn't very good) Does grounding got anything to do with this issue? All the help is welcome, cheers!
