Hey guys!
Disclaimer: I'm a complete computer noob so you'll have to be patient.... sry
So the title sums it up pretty nicely but basically I was playing some CS:GO, had a few tabs open on chrome and was listening to a stream when I smelled this burnt plastic smell. I turned my computer off and tried to check if I could pinpoint what was going on but after a few minutes the smell faded and I turned my computer back on not thinking much of that incident. About a half hour later I'd say, my screen froze and I had to reboot. I managed to reboot but once again, after a few minutes the screen froze. I tried rebooting another time and that time the computer seemed like it booted but my screen got no signal (I could hear the fans and everything). I then tried opening my case to see if there weren't any noticeable failures but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I cleaned of all the dust and tried unplugging it but it didn't help much. Now I'm at a standstill where sometimes it boots up normally and shuts down after 5 minutes, sometimes it boots up and i can only access my bios and sometimes it boots up but nothing appears on screen. Also the smell, I think it came from the power supply not sure tho.
Thanks for the help!
