Recently when I was building a PC, I forgot to put the standoff screws in and screwed the motherboard directly to the case. Everything worked fine, but a few hours into use, the room started to smell like electricity. After I searched electricity smell after new comptuer build, somebody on a forum suggested that the motherboard was touching the case and shorting. I realized I forgot the standoff screws, and felt really dumb for a moment. Anyway, now the machine is shutting down (there are a lot of windows updates) so will this cause any long term damage? Was that smell potentially bad for my health? I opened a window after a while, but I can't imagine anything too bad would happen.
Thanks for the help.
