Sounds like you have a problem you need to fix immediately.  Let me
rephrase that: a problem you need to have someone fix.

I'd guess a defective PC power supply, especially if you can get sparks
just plugging the monitor into the PC.  If not that, it could be a
defective ground on the outlet you're usign for the PC, a miswired outlet,
a defective power cord or something.  If you don't know *FOR SURE* exacgly
what to do to troubleshoot and fix this problem, please find someone who
does.  You definitely do not want to teach yourself AC electrical theory
on live household circuits.
