cpu fan stopped working when i try to clean inside the computer.
i want to know what is th problem of this thing?
is it a psu?
but the fan is running
is it cpu ?

First of all Welcome to AT!!

Check all the power connectors. Sometimes they can get loose from a good cleaning and cause problems. Then inspect all the capacitors(little round towers) around the CPU area, if any are bulging or leaking then pull power immediately for safety sake. If still not fixed pull power from everything but the motherboard and video card(if it requires an external power connection) and try to power up. Could be a hdd, cdrom or floppy gone bad. If that doesn't work, test with another power supply if you have one available.

I think you have a dead processor if I'm understanding you right.

CPU's generally won't smell when dead until you take it out of the socket and smell the underside. Fan motors can quite commonly smell when the bearing(s) burn or when the wiring on the motor burns.
