My computer vents under a desk, and against a wall. There are times when I can smell it, but to really smell it, I need to get behind the desk. When the air conditioning comes on, it will blow under the desk and then it is more obvious. The computer is still under warrantee, so I suppose I...

No, it's not burning. I would just call it electrical.

Thanks for all the responses. I am watching it closely to see if something goes wrong with it.
