Before doing something to your computer, try touching a piece of metal or something (like a spoon or fork). That should remove the static electricity that you would have. 

 

Other than that, having your computer shock you isnt good. Make sure its not on carpet and considering investing in a anti static band (they really cheap)

Turn psu off and hold the power button of your case for 30 seconds, see if it shocks you

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

There might be something making contact between the case and the pc's internal circuitry, unplug everything and try shaking the pc (gently) to see if there is anything lose inside it that might be causing this. If you can't find anything, try removing your graphics card and see if it still shocks you.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

actually you should touch something larger that is actually grounded like a room radiator or something...

Call an electrician and let him check the earth connection.

Doesn't seem to be present right now...
