You answered yourself, you don't have grounding in your wall socket, so either you need so make new wiring in whole house to have it. It would be bit expensive but you wont have this kind of problems in future. Other way is ground your pc directly, it is not recommended as it could cause some problems with trip switch, but i don't think your hose have one installed as they normally aren't installed in houses with only TN-C wiring. To ground pc directly you just need to screw wire to your pc case and other end to heating if it is metal, but you must make sure this wire touches metal and not paint.
But still, this all is work for electrician and not home made solutions.

When something is badly connected to ground, there are only few things you can do, but most of time calling electrician is safest. It could be just cable to your pc that have broken grounding wire so try different one, it could be just that one power socket or if you use extension cord try different one too.

My house' wall socket doesn't have third prong in it. My PSU has a power cable that has a third prong connected to an AVR. The avr doesn't have a third prong that should be connected to the wall socket
