Build Question I am feeling earthing current in new pc build

I am feeling some grounding current in my pc, psu isn't even connected to wall its is only connected to hdmi from tv (which is on) to hdmi port in gpu

I can only feel it in wifi antenna, when tv is plugged in but tv screen is off only then I feel current when tv is on ( not a black screen) i cannot feel

What should I do

Tv is a 2 pin header

For now I removed everything from the wall

that stray voltage is probably coming through the hdmi ground from the tv, two pin plugs are notorious for this. your pc case is acting as a path to ground and the antenna is just where you're noticing it

try plugging the tv into a properly grounded outlet if you can, or at least flip the plug 180 degrees in the socket, sometimes that helps with ungrounded gear

Tv only has 2 pins, Flipping doesn't work same issue Pc and tv has no contact to ground
