[QUOTE="Kenney, post: 1900641, member: 341525"] There is little that you can do without knowing something about Electricity. If the electrical outlet in or on the wall is NOT grounded then you are SOL. From your pictures it looks like your in the basement. Is the wiring from the outlet in conduit all the way back to the Fuse Panel ? It will take someone that knows what they are doing to safely check the ground to the Fuse Panel (ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN KILL) and repair or replace the wiring if not. Get an Electrician to do this. Adding a Humidifier to the room (40% Humidity) would help. Static discharge can and does destroy electronic components. The more frequently they occur the faster this happens. This gets expensive. If the electrical box on the wall IS grounded then adding a ground strap to the desk and maybe an antistatic mat to the floor also. KenK [/QUOTE]
