To ensure your partition is grounded from these statics, you have to make
sure all your electrical wiring to the partition and in the partition have
proper grounding. Ground wire should normally green colored and also make
sure that there are no nails or screws cutting any wires in the wire
trunking.

You don't have to be electrical expert. Just get out there and hire any
professional wiremen to do the check for you. Explain the problem in detail
and I believe most professional wiremen should simply solve the problem
within hour or two. When the problem solved, pay them them money. It's
really that simple. Same like you don't have to be a pilot to fly in a jet.
There are people who already pro with it. Just hire them.

 Here's quick tip to do the test yourself that there is no outage when
someone bump to the partition and make the PC shuts down. Add a power
extension which have two or more outlet to the incoming socket to your PC.
Plug in your PC to one of the outlet in the extension and plug in a table
lamp in another outlet in the socket. Turn the lamp and the PC on. When the
setup is ready, bump yourself to the partition or touch the partition
abruptly as you said previously. If you see the table lamp blinks or turned
off, then there is wiring problem. If, only the PC shuts down, then you may
consider Mr. Haris's advice to check inside the PC.

Hope this helps.
