Built it about 3 months ago. Smelled burning a couple days ago. I immediately unplugged everything and opened it up to try to find where the smell was coming from. I *think* it was from the power supply, but not absolutely sure... the smell went away pretty quickly once I opened the case.
Anyways, I thought that it could possibly be dust? I hadn't really cleaned it since I built it, and it was quite dusty. I ran down to Walgreens and bought a can of air and cleaned it out... haven't smelled burning since.
Could it just be that some dust fell on something hot, and all it needed was a good cleaning? Or should I be worried about my power supply or video card? (Before I turned off my comp, I checked my video card temps... it was fine)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
