I get a weird static/zap from muh PC.

My computer was plugged in, all switches were turned on (PSU switch, wall plug socket), and I got a tingly shock feeling from my PC case when I touched it(moved my finger across it) whilst I was holding the end of my HDMI cable (I was touching the contacts). This also happens when i touch my case when my iPod charger is plugged into my 360 or TV (360 or TV was turned on). What the hell is this? I really hope it's not a fault in the house wiring. [spoiler]I'm actually being serious for once. And no, I didn't sell it. Check the tags of that other thread for your answer. [/spoiler] EDIT: Yes, I've asked Tom's Hardware. They were no help at all. EDIT: Been speaking with Crantius Colton. He said he's almost certain it's my PSU. Going to get my uncle to bring his computer down to see if his does the same.

    I see your thread on Tom'shardware. And this is a common occurrence with faulty PSUs/wiring. I would try a different PSU in your PC if it's possible to get your hands on one to see if it's that. If not, you'll have to do some diagnosis, or get an electrician to diagnose it. Definitely earth leakage.
