Grounding/Earth Issue

[hackersid]

Assalam-0-Alaikum,

Guys I live in an old flat/apartment and there is no concept of grounding or earthing here. There are only 2 pin sockets available all over the house. Now due to this, my PC isn't grounded and I am getting earth whenever I try to touch the casing or the metal body of my keyboard. Its really annoying.

Can anyone tell me how can I actually ground my PC? I am not looking for a whole house solution. I just need to ground my PC. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Wsalam. Bro what you need is a GFCI outlet. Search your local electric shop & if you can't find it there, then your best bet is daraz pk.

Thank you for your response. Is GFCI outlet same as surge protector outlet? Because I have used surge protection and it doesn't do anything. BTW I am also using a UPS with my computer so its not connected to direct power supply.

Surge protectors are entirely for a different purpose. Google is your best bet for in depth info on GFCI outlets. Get in touch with a good electrician, as he may be able to guide you better in your case.
