ok, just randomly few days ago, I started to smell this burnt chemical smell. I found it to be coming from the back of the monitor. I mean, it smells A LOT, it stank up the whole house. What's wrong with it?? When that happened I unplugged it and never used it again, I'm afraid it's gonna smell again.
So here I am writing from my second computer to see if this ever happened to anyone else. It smells like burnt motor or something. It's one of those big blocky monitors, I think a CRT? well i bought it in like year 2000 so it's kinda old. It was working fine when it started to smell too.
I disabled the onboard monitor and installed a nVidia card, a cheap one.... maybe that could be the reason.... but I've had it installed for a long time so I don't think that's it. What the heck is wrong with my computer?? HELP
