How on earth...

do i earth myself? i now believe i must be an extremely static person as i just dont understand why mobos keep breaking on me lately! lol so investing in a anti satic wristaband may help but what do i attach it to?

are there any other ways of earthing myself??

also would a miss placed mobo stand off short out a board?

carpet ay? i build on a desk which is solid but would the carpet still create static through me?

how often would i be needing to touch the psu/radiator every minute? 5 minutes?

yea im betting its not static you like have a 1% chance of static killing components, iv had ram, my cpu and my graphics card being chucked all over my bed over the past months and im pretty sure they fine!

Uni drunkness could be a cause!
