[Replied]Flicking white dots 5K

Attention all with white sparks

My PC had a problem of current leak, felt it when touching the metal parts of my PC case, also my TV acted up when the HDMI from my PC was connected.
Also my TV was showing occasional red flickering on 4K content from PC

Bought a new PSU, no help.
Turned out to be my Logitech G27 wheel was the culprit !
G27 connected to mains + PC = ~110V between the PC case and ground (edit. or between the g27 set + PC atleast)

Disconnected it completely and everything is normal. TV working as it should, havent checked if the red sparks are gone too.

So, to debug the sparky situation, I recommend you to disconnect everything unnecessary from your PC before requesting a new cable. It might also help to ground your PC case.

Edit2. luckily the amperage is something like 0.0002A, take a few digits and I wouldn’t be teasing you guys here.
