Hi everyone ---
I'm sure this has been asked to death but I am a paranoid person so I appreciate anyone taking the time to offer a response to my specific situation:
I have a brand new computer and this morning in a hurry, I unplugged my headphones from the front headphone jack after I put my wool coat on and felt a small shock. The computer was asleep (blue light blinking) and did not appear to shut down or otherwise change. The machine is plugged into a surge protector which is plugged into an outlet in a modern building. I understand the machine and case are grounded, but I am worried that my touching the headphones could have sent a shock through the system and caused some damage that I cannot detect.
Thanks for any advice, reassurance, etc. and happy new year !
