What I can't understand is why build an apartment block with no earthing that's just a stupid way to get everyone and their electronics toasted should the place be hit with a lightning strike

the pc in the kitchen xD and the outlet in the kitchen = no shocks
the pc in my room and the electrical outlet in the kitchen = getting shocked
i put my pc on a moving table with the outlet in the kitchen and starting to moving the table from my room to the kitchen i was getting shocked until the moment im out of my room the shock stoped
what do you guys think??

Is there a difference between the floor, or floor covering, in your room and the kitchen's?

nope its the same

i got a tester screwdriver and starting looking around and i even found that the metal part of my monitor (vga output) has electrity on it so im asuming this is a 100% grounding problem

Ok with this you are on your own. I said my peace on this matter, you obviously are not listening.

Been thinking about this.

To recap; you only get shocked when the PC is plugged into certain receptacle(s). You only get shocked when barefoot. You get shocked in certain rooms, but not in others. The comment about getting shocked when touching the PC and a wall is curious, as the wall should not present a path to ground, nor should the floor. Unless, it is static discharge.

It sounds as if the receptacle may be incorrectly wired, with the ungrounded phase conductor (hot) going to the grounded phase conductor (neutral) terminal of the power supply.
