It might be static electricity. If your humidity is very low a static charge can build up on the screen.
Reverse your plug in the outlet. That might give you a better ground.
Put a pan of water on a heat register or radiator in the room with your computer. That will probably stop it.
Good Luck

The electricity could be coming from you instead of from the computer. If you live in a part of the world where it is rather cold and dry right now, that increases the chances of building up static electricity.
Before you touch your computer, touch something metal. If you get a little shock, that is the static electricity built up in you being discharged.
If nothing happens and then when you touch your computer right afterwards you get shocked, then there is some sort of grounding fault with the computer that needs to be addressed by a professional.
Do you have your computer in an area that is carpeted? Just walking to your computer and shuffling your feet across the carpet can generate enough static electricity in you to cause a little snapping jolt when you touch the metal on the computer case.

i imagine the guy is a sicko. it is no longer some thing you should do to little ones even to punish them, and it is maximum genuinely no longer humorous. Plus, they're designed for animals, who've heavily diverse body structure than people who've significant blood vessels and nerves below only a skinny layer of epidermis - he would have heavily injured or killed them! although, is it undesirable that i recognize someone who's tried a wonder collar (the invisible fence kind) himself because he had to tutor that the canine ought to easily ignore with reference to the wonder and run out of the backyard if it had to, and also to illustrate his girlfriend that he became manly sufficient to take the soreness? maximum individuals i recognize imagine it is hilarious, no longer because it harm him, yet that he became dumb sufficient to really try it, and he became a grown guy on the time so this became totally the fabricated from his own stupidity, no longer some thing anybody else inflicted on him...

Two possibilities:
- faulty electical wiring (grounding) in your home
or
- short circuit in your PC or one of its peripherals.
Try the PC elsewhere to be sure.
Either way .... PLEASE... keep your children away from it until the issue is solved.
Electrical current can behave unpredictably. Don't take any chances.
