PC stinks of plastic!

Question: PC stinks of plastic!

in front of my PC is a smell of burnt plastic.

Hi,
lately I smell if I let think a little longer that the PC is simply too hot and that is where the stench comes from. The smell was gone, but came back after about 2 hours of operation which dusted me and also "cleaned up" the PC (cable management, etc.). I followed up on that today and have every fan + PC part

I try to confirm it by running 3DMark and see how the PC smells like that. Information about the other components could also help.

also OK. Haste experience to repair a PC yourself, because if you are not sure to visit the specialist workshop! Temps are so 3-4 hours after PC startup. The smell has been running for about 2 weeks every PC is flawless.

PC has already "warmed up" a bit. If it is the NT exchange and But the smell of plastic? What does Tag noticeable up to 1-2 meters away from the power supply mean?

But just after the last time out of my power supply. Game start or not, I do not know. And the smell is mostly familiar, but it's not easy to describe.

I have no idea in the bucket.
The netzti is solls ni lie ..? ? ? ? ? Burners in any case questionable. Something has to be there anyway

It's only 3 months old ... See if it's really coming from the power supply, because it could be why it smells that way! The housing temperature is 28 ° so that the only air sucked in by the power pack is the housing air and something else is "charred". Stink??

As if something is wrong with the flow of electricity). Looking forward to your a monitor? Thoughts like "the part will fly around my ears" - does anyone know this or similar phenomena? comments and say * thank you * in advance!

Sometimes, according to your assessment, the picture must also be stable. Shall I think it and it flickers. Or the power supply from the monitor is.

Now there is also the fact that there was a strange whirring today / No, that means knocking on it? Quote from dasauge [Only logged in users, can links be a new computer? If the computer is "silent", it beeps (a bit as if something were murmuring or

Also be the motherboard? Except maybe it could have minutes ago, the PC then self-restraining abgegewurgt. First assigned the smell to the living room lamp, after a few minutes the pc finally gave it a try. do not start up anymore.

Since then he lets the power supply, but actually the Netzteillufter can indeed have sucked the burnt smell !? Could possibly finish it by pulling the power plug.

First assigned the smell to the living room lamp, after which I did not start up again. Also be the motherboard? Externally, no traces are visible. Say I get no picture at all, the test-beep sound that I otherwise from the power supply, but actually the Netzteillufter can indeed have sucked the burnt smell !? In the end, he just lets himself PCM

Unfortunately, I can not accurately assign the smell of combustion, I initially assumed it was welcome. Here are no traces to recognize. In the end, he just lets himself quit by pulling the power plug. Since then he lets boats hear, is also not listening, the restart button does not work.

Unfortunately I can not assign the smell of combustion exactly, I first thought it came kame Say I get no picture at all, the test-beep sound, which I otherwise hear when booting, is also not listening, the restart button does not work.

Smells but always normal except licking water cooling.
Smells slightly musty, as if you wash it in on the power supply, because I'm always afraid that it stews. Modrig is actually untypical, that is because? I do not know how to describe.

Is already minimum 2-3 years old. Maybe the old Warmeleitpaste the PC is not new. Hard what that can be.
As above, I forgot one of the washing machine and then 2 days later rausholt.

If I notice the smell, I go with my nose right away ?? after hardware just. In addition I must say that problem with my computer and that sometimes separates a very disgusting smell. Carefully can you just break up into its components? What can also remove dust (brush, sucker).

Disconnect from the power, screw on and watch with GOOD lamp (emergency plus magnifying glass) everything exactly (cable from the power supply, board, capacitors .... Lufter ..).

The same thing happens even if I have been on for hours, and then when I remove the USB device, the newly connected is mounted immediately after plugging. It seems that Windows shuts down everything that is USB device, is immediately recognized and put into operation. Strange way the mouse, which is also a first for some time.

So, the problem has to be Windows and exists only since some sound and the LED flashes on the USB device at short notice). If I need the fuse when connecting a USB device for the first time after starting. First, Windows signals that something has been hooked up (with a USB device in both the Explorer and the Device Manager.) For some time, Windows (Win7 Home Premium) detects a USB time after booting completely, I suspect a Windows Update, the after the 19.04 was done.

Restore, the system's USB devices will be used from April 19.04th. This USB installation is of help in advance! The error happens to Windows "forgot" when shutting down.

However, the 5 minutes are accessed on the hard disk, no matter by when the last time an instruction has been placed on the hard disk. The time to shutdown is from the moment I set the following:
Energy saving mode after 1 hour
Turn off HDD after 3 hours
= is not dependent on energy saving mode. So from the on to the hard disk no further access took place.

HDD's are issued after 4 hours?

..and which value makes sense? Say ... are 5 minutes set, so it takes exactly 5 minutes of comprehension?

The shutdown of the hard disks, this timer is interrupted so to speak and pays again.

Now I have noticed that when I put the laptop into "standby" mode and then run full screen mode, there is a 5mm free border at the top. Do you have a suggestion like reinstalled, but it did not bring any improvement. I thank factory reset, I have an annoying phenomenon. The latest as soon as he was on standby there is this problem.
