My pc shocks me when i touch the case. Thread starter Bikola Start date Dec 15, Joined Aug 7, Messages 64 0. Hello so last mounth i just builed my first PC today i touched the case and got shocked can this damage my pc? Joined Mar 26, Messages 7, 2. Yes it can damage, probably won't.
Keep it off the floor, stop scooting your feet on carpet, and make sure your outlet is grounded properly. Toothless said:. Joined Jul 2, Messages 33, 6. Alaebike said:. Joined Oct 17, Messages 9, 2. What country do you live in? Take your motherboard out along with psu, gpu, put on non conductive surface, boot your system up outside of the case. Check to make sure you only have the brass stand offs needed in the case to match up with the motherboard mounting holes. Remove any extras.
Lightly touch power supply with back of your hand, if it zaps you, you have a short to ground in that psu, replace it. Thats the culprit. When I got my glass desk I started getting static shock like crazy.
You can run a humidifier You can try grounding the table Or you can create a grounding touch plug like I did,i took a pc power cord, plugged it into the wall, and then shoved a ground plug from another cord into the ground hole of the PC cord, and then I just touch it to discharge , it's connected to the ground via my electrical outlet.

Perception of leakage current varies from person to person. People with lower skin impedance may be more sensitive to electric shocks.
Once the static charge dissipates to ground, the charge is neutralized and the electrical activity stops. Should the wall's AC circuit be routed through the computer, you would get not only a very large shock because of the massive amps in most wall outlets, but the shock would be different in nature than the zap of a static discharge. In AC circuits the current first moves in one direction and then in the opposite direction at a rate of about 60 times per second.
This activity acts like a pump that allows transformers to propagate current over great distances instead of needing many power stations, which is why it's used. If this AC energy were routed into your body, then you would feel an intense vibration at a frequency of around 60Hz that would surge through your body, disrupting muscles and nerves, and burning you or worse before the circuit breaker trips. If you have ever heard a wall socket short out, that loud, buzzing sound before the circuit breaker trips is indicative of the alternating current in the circuit.
If the computer were shorting out an AC circuit in this manner, its delicate DC components would very likely get overloaded and break, and any shock felt would be much different than a static discharge zap. Furthermore, computer power supplies will prevent wall power from surging to the rest of the system. In laptop and Mac Mini systems the power supply that converts wall AC circuits to the DC circuit the computer uses are generally separate from the system, so any faults in it would likely result in it breaking without affecting the system.
In iMac and other desktop systems this power supply is in the chassis; however, if it shorts out and breaks, then the wall circuit would still be broken instead of charging the entire chassis with wall current. Is there any way to stop it? When it comes to managing static discharges, there is really no way to prevent them from happening; however, you can control their prevalence a bit.
Humidity helps reduce static charge buildups, so one option is to get a humidifier for your house might help.
