I'm getting electric shocked. - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Amomiamup** · 10-21-2007, 03:54 PM

Ok I built computers for more than 3 years now, recently I moved and also got myself a L-shaped table made out of metal for my new gaming rig. The problem, well, my headphones are giving me shocks(which is painful and frustrating), not when I touch the wire, but when I touch the Volume Control. I also had several shocks from the TV, Case and Monitor, and I am beginning to suspect that its the table? Never in my life I felt shocks like this, its a stinging pain that makes me go scared that the Power Supply is gonna explode or something.

Any suggestions on what I should do, because otherwise I will probably look for another table.

- I am not wearing wool
- I am not wearing socks with rubber slippers
- I never get shocked like this ever.

Go buy a fancy power strip, like one that $30 +
That might help.

Do you happen to have one of those air-filters in the room that has an ionizer? I used to get shocked by my headphones if I left the ionizer running while I was listening to my headphones.

I'll try another power-strip

and yeah I have 2 air filters.. but I don't know.

I think I gained the electric powers just like in Bioshock. Time to zap some b!tches.

What else are you touching when this happens? And, do you have any blanks in your memory, maybe a day you can't account for...?

Spread Vaseline all over your self and then wrap your self in Cellophane.That will provide proper insulation from further electrical shock.

Or just make for a helluva story when a room mate catches you with the jar of Vasoline. . .

"Really. . .I'm just trying to insulate myself!"

"So THAT'S what they're calling it these days?"
