Hello
I felt the rush of electric current (electric shock) to my body when I touched the back of the computer case. Is it normal to have electric current flowing through computer case? Thanks

No it isn't. Make sure the wall outlet you have plugged the system into is properly earthed....

The fault does not lie in the PC. It's a problem with your wall power outlet. You need to get an electrician to fix the problem.

hello
Okay, thank you very much. My problem is now solved. Now I'm certain that the fault is not within the pc. I will try to install a grounding wire solely for the pc. Again, thank you.
