You can try ruling this out as follows:
Purchase a grounding strap.
-or-
`Build' a grounding strap by screwing one end of a piece of wire to a known ground (screw-plate of a properly wired outlet) and the other end stripped and wrapped around your wrist. This bleeds off all static to ground.
Good luck.
