HELP! Power leaking!

[juliusye]

HELP!!! I notice that when my computer is in high load, when i open a lot of tabs of google chrome or while i'm playing a game like BF4, I'm getting power leak, I can feel electric tingling or sometimes a sharp pain when i touch the keyboard, I tried touching the screws that lock the tempered glass to the case even the screws have the electric tingling feel. Would it be a faulty motherboard or faulty psu? HEEEEELP

Is your power outlet grounded?

Yes. I can only feel the power tingling when it's using lot's of RAM.

are you sure its grounded?

do you have a ohm meter to test. https://mrelectric.com/blog/how-to-use-a-multimeter-to-test-an-outlet

 

what psu do you have?

can we get your config and a photo of the case.

it doesn't matter what your doing and the only electricity on your keyboard is 5v and maybe a static low volt electricity.

Motherboard standoffs installed?
Check the rear IO ports where your keyboard is plugged in and make sure the IO shield isn't bent in to the USB socket and that there isn't any other damage to the USB socket on the motherboard or the keyboard itself.

The power supply is definitely connected to a grounded wall outlet?
The power supply has a 3 pin plug and the wall outlet is actually connected to a ground line and isn't just a 3 pin socket with the ground pin unconnected? You're not using a extension cable or power strip that only has a 2 pin plug?

Try plugging the system in to a different wall socket.

i mean without the standoffs it would have been fried on first boot.

That's not how it works, are you sure its not static? if not,  Return the PSU immediately.

Sounds like case is being energized by AC voltage. Unless there is something in the case that can create DC voltages in excess of 60V that I don't know about.

again a picture of your case would help and so does testing your outlet

My PSU is 3-4 years old. Probably it's time to get a new one

I've seen bad power strips causing this, especially the cheap ones.

hmmm, i will trying changing the power strips

[juliusye]

Confirmed is not grounding issue, my new power supply will probably arrive today and I will try it out to see if there's any leaking

[juliusye]

PROBLEM SOLVED, it was actually my faulty logitech g12 carbon keyboard that cause the power leaking. After changing to new keyboard, it doesn't have any power leaking on my pc anymore.
