try connecting the computer to some other wall socket, if possible change the mains cord also.
after done come straight back here and report ! :nerd_NF:
To [MENTION=120531]madhu[/MENTION] [MENTION=138043]kARTechnology[/MENTION] and respective others (observation of tests):--->
I just attached the PSU(Cooler Master Thunder 500W SMPS) onto the Cooler Master Elite 311.
None of the other components(mobo,HDD,fans,etc.) were attached.
Simply put the Empty Cabinet Elite 311 + PSU setup.
I switched on the power button which is present with the SMPS(Thunder 500W) after connecting the power cord of the smps.
The whole cabinet (metallic surface/portion) is experiencing a flow of electricity.
I also tested the various output connectors with the tester. Line/Electricity is present there.
Seems like some ground issue with the cabinet.
HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? PLEASE HELP ME @TDF FRIENDS.
Seems to be the problem(likely or may be) with the power cord of Thunder 500W SMPS. The rating for which is 13A(with fuse),230V~250V.
But I also have another new power cord of rating 10A,230V~250V. Attaching that to the smps is posing no electric short problems,AT THE SAME TIME NO CURRENT SEEMS TO BE FLOWING IN TO THE OUTLET CONNECTORS, as tested by tester.
Seems to be a problem of Electrical Engineers,who know the solution.
Anyone out there @TDF ???
The ground wire of your old chord might have worn out.... The new one with 10A rating is far sufficient for your 500W smps and you can use it!!!

Thanks for the explanation my Friend.SMPS should not supply current to output connectors under zero load conditions.That is why to check a SMPS it is always recommended to test it by connecting at least a mobo with processor & cpu fan.

Because sometimes old is really gold.Maybe iBall is so old that there is some rusty part at the backside which prevent shorting of circuit.Thanks for the explanation my Friend.
But why no problem arises with the iBall i221 Cabinet which is 9 years old and is to be debunked?

With the iball cabinet, I use the complete new setup relating to power cable(13A with fuse,230V~250V cord) + Cooler Master Thunder 500W PSU.No shocks,no shorting and PC-Desktop runs peacefully.But the same above mentioned setup when used with the new(replaced) Cooler Master Elite 311 cabinet,produces shock,shorting , PC-Desktop never starting(unbootable,showing no signs of life)so when u use the new power cable the issue persists and if you use the old one does it go away?with the iBall cabby did u use old / new power cable?
Hey buddy,where is my problem solved???well, stop talking & get into gamin, now that your problem is solved.
Keeping aside jokes,my Friend this defies logic.Because sometimes old is really gold.Maybe iBall is so old that there is some rusty part at the backside which prevent shorting of circuit.
I did the same test sans cabinet fans by attaching two ends of a paper clip to point no. 15 and point no.16 of the 24-pin power supply to mobo(Thunder 500W smps)by consulting the manual and also from youtube(not yours) and switched on the power supply(taking adequate precautions such that I won't get electrolocuted).okay then, the new power cable is also good. do one thing.
install only PSU in the elite 311, and then use the new power cord, and then do this

so this powers up OK = psu + cabinet + new power cord ok.
install mobo + PSU connectors to mobo,
out of the case on a motherboard packaging box, or cardboard and test.

The smps FANS were spinning with full normal speed.
THUS THE PSU/SMPS ACCORDING TO THE TEST WAS O.K.

No Brother,sorry for my over enthusiasm. Actually i wanted to be sure that whether the Cooler Master Thunder 500W smps was functional or not.:cool_NF:
did you actually do this with the psu in the elite 311?
do the cardboard-mother board test, place the motherboard simply on a cardboard and plug the cables and see if it POSTs
Hey buddy,where is my problem solved???
AND I AM NEVER A GAMER.
It is not working with any cord,whatsoever.elite 311 is working without problem with old 10A cord, right ? if it is, then just forget the 13A cord.
