My PSU smells ok my HD smells ok the Cd rom drive smells ok it maby a fan my CPU or Graphics card. and ontop of it i have a cloged nose kinda. I am sitting in front of my comp and I am like what that smell I check and my rear fan is blowing the smell out. could it be buring dust?
 
Um is anything working? If it's not, it's probably the CPU... although generally you can definitely smell it.
 
The computer is on and working!!! I jsut smellsed near the graphics card and its not coming from there now its mabe near the cpu area but I cant get my nose close enought to tell!!!! I am goign crazy
 
I really don't want a pic...But you could put a couple straws up your nose 😛

Are any caps between the CPU & I/O plate swelling?? Have they vented??

Proof of precognition (clairvoyance) right here on AT!!! Twenty minutes before thescreensavers admits the smell was caused by hot dogs, and you're telling him to "turn that puppy off"! :beer:

Seriously, thescreensavers, if your brother's hot dogs smell like burned caps, don't let him cook for you!
