So, I bought components to build a basic PC, and today I built it, checked everything twice before turning it on.
My problem is, the first time I turned it on there was a strong burning smell, the computer booted up alright, HDD worked, DVD and Graphics Card, but still, there was a strong plastic burning smell.
I think the problem is I'm using a 250v power cable, and the PSU has a sticker with 220v, I can't find a 220v 3-pin power cable though :s.
I've read it's the grease in the PSU, but don't want to chance turning my computer back on a causing harm to any components.
Any help guys?
