just don't wear shoes/ socks and always try and keep your arm on the side of the case, not that hard...

do you get any beeps when you power up, if you do get beeps how many times does it beeps? had a similar problem with my nephews computer, turned out the power supply was the problem, swapped that out for the right one and it worked
