Well there is this tiny quartz crystal inside the computer that is used to generate the clock frequency that drives the CPU. That crystal normally vibrates at a steady frequency and the computer can operate normally when it does. I suspect the quartz crystal in the clock oscillator started vibrating arrhythmically causing the CPU to not respond correctly. When you zapped it with the thousands of volts you had stored in your body from static electricity build up, you defibrillated the crystal and knocked it back to a normal rhythmic frequency allowing the computer to boot. You saved that computer's life, hero!
