Pc shut down, I cleaned the PSU vent, and it turns on but had a smell for a day after, I think my PSU over heated, but should I worry about it being permanently damaged since it turns on? And what about the smell? It seems to have gone away a little. And my PC turns on and seemingly works fine. How would I check for damage? Just wondering if I should be worried or think about getting a new PSU.

The only thing I notice is the dram clock speed shows about half of what I expect it to be. 1200 instead of 2133.

How do I know what I should be seeing compared to what I am seeing? For the rest?

Looking at my bios it shows voltage for my cpu core fx8350 is 1.008 and dram is 1.640. Then it shows the system/3.3v at 3.2, system/5V at 4.872 and the system/12V at 11.968. Does this mean something did fry?

I'm unfamiliar with occt or how to use it. I see on the graph though the voltage. I'm color blind so it's difficult to tell which number is for which component. Do I use this to run a test?

I didn't have problems playing for extended hours last night, now my pc won't stay on for very long. Not sure what is wrong, can anyone help?

It actually won't turn back on and the lights flash when I try.
