I had on occasion, a similar problem, in an office environment, with thick
piled carpets and lots of plastic ornaments etc. The static was so bad that
every time you walked passed the PC, you would get zapped by a blue flame,
and the PC would reset.
To fix this one, we took a length of electrical cable, connected a lug on
one end, attached this to the PC chassis using one of the cabinets screws.
The other end we earthed to a reliable earth, and that was the last time
that PC rebooted or got zapped.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Enrico
