My computer reboots anytime I cause a static shock... Whether I touch the metal on my blue mic when I sit down or touch my AKG headphones when I sit down. The computer reboots any time I have static occur when I sit.

The computer has done it probably about 50 times and it is getting old. I have listed all my parts used and all things plugged in to the computer. Thanks in advance.

Well it could be a poorly connected wire, grounding issue or maybe something makes contact while it isn't supposed to be. Best way is visual check cables and follow them to see if they are connected and also don't touch anything. Could also be making contact on the back of the mobo if it touches the pointy ends of the circuits. Would first look at your internal cables for the power and reset in the case.

 

Can you be more specific on the type PSU?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Take out the motherboard (ground yourself first), then put it back in.
