I contacted the manufacturer support they said this:
1- Its the power that induced by circuits inside the power supply (not a
short circuit) and its not above 200mA and can be solved by proper
grounding.
I know my power supply is not properly grounded cause i disconnected the
ground wire BUT
does this statement by the support personnel sounds logical to a circuit
engineer
OR ARE THEY WHITE WASHING A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THEIR PRODUCT?
any comments would be appriciated.

Which means that you are a moron and that you are taking up everyone's
time unnecessarily.

Connect the ground wire back up, install the power supply into the computer,
and then come back here when you actually have a problem with the computer..

If it were a serious problem you computer would not be working. Ground the
damn thing like you're supposed to and move on. It is nothing more than a
field effect.

Yes! Considering that you have eliminated proper grounding, that
explanations sounds entirely accurate. Have an electrician restore a
proper ground connection, and further, as a safety concern, I would
suggest you not plug in that system until it is repaired!

Sorry But

continuity Tester!?
Have you?
(for example) does yur SAT reciever metal cover lights the tester? why SAT
reciever inside power supply doesnt have this effect? or TV or ....?
