I can feel the electricity on my pc case

  • Hi! I have a pc that is connected to a UPS and connected to the outlet. When I turn on the UPS while holding the pc case I can feel a small electric shock, also when the UPS is on charging mode I can feel the electricity all over the case. I know it's not normal to feel the electricity on the case, do I have a faulty PSU, a faulty UPS or its normal?
  • Keep your PC off the ground / carpet / marble. Try different wall outlet, use ground extension cord
  • Thank you I'll try some of your suggestions but using an extension cord plugged into the ups is not safe and not recommended according to the ups manual.

    update:
    i put my PC on a table and connected it to a charging UPS and I can still feel the electricity when touching the case
