Hello guys, I built my gaming pc about 1 month ago and since then I've been suffering of what i thought were "random" freezes. I tested my Ram with memtest and no errors showed up. My hard drive as well. Now, something really weird happened yesterday and I finally realized why it freezes but IDK how to solve it.
Here's what happened: I had been playing for about 1.5 hours with no problem, but right when I stand up to go get something, I get a tiny shock from my keyboard tray and the pc freezes, having to reboot it. I thought I'd hit the tower by accident but I've tried moving it, kicking it softly, and I can't seem to replicate the situation so we can take "movement" out of the equation. The freezing also happens sometimes when plugging something into the front panel or, in rare ocasions, when touching the case directly.
All my components are connected to my surge protector which I assume is grounded, since it has two lights: one lit up which says "protected" and the other one is off, which says "not grounded". I would assume that since the second isn't lit, it means everything should be grounded, right? Also, this happens MORE often when my AC is on.
Here's a picture of my setup so you can see what I mean.
Please guys, i need help really quick, or one of these days I'll fry my mobo.
Thanks
