Default Possible bad ground wire, please help


wrote in message
...
I just recently moved into a house that had all the electrical service
updated. At first things seemed to work, lately this has changed. I
am getting small shocks more than i ever did, its stronger than a
static shock. When this happens, it drops the voltage enough to
restart my computer. At first I thought this was a computer issue
until I had it reset without laying a finger on it by getting a shock
from the cell phone charger. Any shock I receive in the room its in
will cause the computer to reset. What is causing this? Bad ground?
The wiring is in wrong?




any ideas will help, thank you for your time

There's just not enough information to guess at it. I would have the neutral
conductor feeding the building checked, as well as the circuit neutral
conductors in the panel, and check the integrity of the grounding system.
Get an outlet tester and see what it tells you
