Hi. This is a new system I bought pre built months ago due to waiting too long for individual components to get here.
I don't have enough space on my desk so I put my PC on the floor, on a stand. The stand is around 3 inches high and I'm thinking that isn't enough.
Lately after using if I get extremely close to it I can smell smoke. If I do something intensive, I can smell it 3 feet away. CoreTemp and CCC shows CPU and GPU temps are fine (fantastic actually). I don't feel much in the back so I'm guessing it's not the PSU. Haven't noticed any slow down until recently when I was playing Skyrim the PC's fans got loud and the game got slow and had some minor graphical anomalies. Again, GPU and CPU temperatures are fantastic. I have also noticed that I cannot access the BIOS as the system just freezes.
Is it a wire? Or is it dirty and I just need to open it and clean it?
Specs:
i5 3470 3.2GHz
HD 7850 Twin Frozr III
8 GB of HyperX RAM
Gigabyte H77 mobo
PSU Corsair 600W
Thank you if you took the time to read.
