My PC electrocute me... HELP!

[Tech Lover]

hi. when ever i connect any metal made gadget like iPhone or my new AMP/DAC, it electrocutes me like crazy...

its so bad i cant touch the device at all and i have to use the microwave gloves to operate the device or wrap some cloth on my hand before using the screen.

 

my PC case is Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced and power supply is cooler master Silent Pro 600W. all connection of wires to the outlet are snugly made and no wire is naked or some shiz like that.

 

my PC is placed on a wooden table which is about 3 inches above ground with plastic wheels.

 

its more like this here in the pic below

 

 

it happens when ever i connect any metal-made thing to PC via USB, be it USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. my mother board is Maximus VI Hero if that can help

 

i cant put the PC case on the ground and need solution while keeping the case on this table cause of lack of space

 

pls guys im done with this stupid thing now and i need solution. last night i got electrocuted like 4 times cause i was trying to connect my new AMP/DAC and i broke my ALL TIME FAVORITE CUP, its so frustrating now... :(

Is the PSU grounded? As in does the plug you're using have all 3 pins?

I presume you just mean a static shock?

This happened to me with my iphone 5 but that was due to me soldering a ghetto charger together, as for you i have no idea what it could be. Do u have any usb cables that are cheap and could be giving too much power through them?

I mean dang, if its static shock you just need to touch something metal more often (like the legs of your desk or something) also don't wear wolley clothing and don't drag your feet... but if it is coming from the computer then man you need to get rid of that PSU it's a disaster waiting to happen, there needs to be something seriously wrong with it for it to start sending electricity through the case as well as that can be quite dangerous for you as well.

If you're on carpet, dont wear socks.

You need to be completely secure your house is properly grounded; if it is this should not happen to you. The third pin in the wall plug, needs to be connected, both to the PSU and to actual ground itself, with a conductive javelin deep into the ground.

Don't mess around and check your wiring first get yourself one of theses it will tell you if you plug is proper grounded or worst. If it's not get an electrician or someone experienced enough to remedy the problem.

its WEIRD man really WEIRD cause almost everything is new and nothing is broken or naked wire or anything.

whats that btw?

 

 

 

ok guys, i found something interesting just now. its 9:30 am in the morning here. it DOES NOT electrocute me in the morning ! it only does it in the night. WTF....

 

i have been checking this out for like 3 days now and it does it only in the night times. not in the morning. my room temperature is around 26C right now. at night it drops to like 21C min. 

 

and my power supply is not the issue. i  will get another power supply from my friend may be today and report back if it happens to that as well. 

 

right now, its not doing anything wrong. i have connected my bro's iPhone 6 and its fine, no shocks. i have connected the AMP/DAC and its FINE! no current out of it as well. 

 

 

i think its the humidity issue. although i dont use Heater in my room or any fire cause seriously its NOT cold here. its just mild cool weather. i mean its 25C right now so its not "CANADA-COLD" LOL

 

anyways i will check if same happens with other PSU and report back here. thank you all for your input
