Solved Help Needed!!!!

[Affan]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and hoping to get some insights into an issue I'm facing with my setup. I have a Dell Optiplex 790 MT, equipped with a 2nd generation Core i5-2400 CPU, a GTX 760 256-bit GPU, and a 500-watt PSU. There are a couple of problems I'm encountering:

1. Electrical Current in the Case: Firstly, I've noticed that my CPU case seems to be conducting electricity, which is definitely concerning.
2. Screen Glitches: Secondly, I'm experiencing screen glitches, particularly noticeable when opening games, multiple tabs in Google Chrome, or any new desktop windows. The screen shows a wave-like pattern on the sides, but this issue seems to subside once the window is fully opened.
3. Freezing Issues: Lastly, my PC occasionally freezes, particularly during startup or shortly after. I've observed that this might be related to my HDD’s orientation; it tends to work fine when placed vertically outside the case, but causes issues when positioned horizontally inside the case.

Any guidance or solutions to these problems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello Affan,

Sounds like there is a bared wire or similar shorting out the case.

Two options, strip it down yourself and investigate or if not something you feel that you can do, ask someone who has experience with working inside a computer.

Please do not continue to use the PC in this condition, a nasty accident may well occur.
