    Your case should be grounded, so that’s not normal. Is the power supply plugged into a 3 prong outlet that’s correctly configured?

    does your house circuits even have ground?

    I’m willing to bet OP is from SE asia, where the concept of grounding just doesn’t exist. That said, grounding or not there should never be voltage enough to light up like that. This is not 5-12v DC from your motherboard that’s causing this, I assure you of that. Your case is somehow getting AC from your power supply, which can be super fucking dangerous

    I would remove your power supply and check the wires. Your case shouldn’t have power lol

    I was having the same issue with my Corsair Keyboard. It was passing current to my arm occasionally. Started out as a small tingle but would quickly escalate lol. Had to end up replacing it

    My pc is grounded but I have the same issue, idk why it’s happening. It’s like petting Pikachu

    First of all no it’s not safe at all. Secondly you should let the Pikachu out of your case, should solve the problem.

    NO

    your PSU should have 3 pins and all should be connected don’t use an adapter or else h̷̺͝ḛ̸̓ ̵̻̈́c̶̳͊o̵̹̎m̵̟͑e̴̙̅s̵̩̓ ̴̙͌t̷̺̓ö̶́ͅ ̸͍͠t̴̜́a̸͍͘k̷̝̒ȇ̴̦ ̸̰͒ỵ̸̉o̴͎͝ṳ̵̏r̴̜̽ ̴͚̚f̸̖̚l̴̥͝ē̸̫s̶̫̾h̸̘̉

    I’ve had loads of 240v bolts in my time and I’m still here… Na on Seriouse note it might be time to change power supply.

    That’s just…. dangerous. Its definitely *shocking* when turning your pc on

    Look at the bright side: it’ll tase any would-be thieves.

    Is this not just induced current in the case because it’s a large unearthed conductor next to a PSU?

    Need that Home Alone 2 scene with the wired sink

    I remember using to have my feet on the pc case and get fuzzy feels from touching the radiator on the wall.

    It’s fine you just don’t have grounding at your place, heres my PC I have for 10+ years.

    You all saying that he needs to put grounding at his home are delusional no chance someone is doing a whole new electric installation to add ground. Here in south America at least we got ground fault protection in all circuits. (New electric installation must and do put grounding thats obvious)
