Hi guys,
I really desperately need some help here please. I have just built my new gaming build and moved into my new house in a different country to be with family, I moved from the UK where we use 3-Pin plugs and moved to Europe where they use 2-Pin plugs and so far the PC seems to be running ok. BUT..... I am getting buzzed with electric from some electrical devices, including my PC!!
I know absolutely nothing about electrics so I have asked a few local people and they tell me that over here the plug sockets are NOT earthed in anyway.
It's not static as it isn't a "crack" I'm getting it's a constant "buzz" like one of those muscle toning machines, just a gentle but irritating buzzing and tingling. I'm not getting it from the whole case so "Only guessing" because it's coated in paint, but I am getting the buzz from anything uncoated like screws in the case or the mouse which has a alloy construction.
I'm absolutely shitty myself that my beautiful new PC is going to get fried
So can anyone offer me any advice to what I could do to earth it other than digging out the sockets and re-wiring everything. As I said I know "nothing" about electrics so please forgive my ignorance but could something as simple as attaching a wire to the case then touching the ground work???
Is there anything I can do???
Please, I'm really worried about his.
Thanks everyone
