My Computer started to smoke after a few months. My pc specs are i5 4670k,MSI GTX560ti twin frozr,Corsair CX600M,MSI Z97 Gaming 3 motherboard. It's running on a stock cpu cooler and i didn't overclock it. The pc was running fine for months when i suddenly was watching a youtube video i smelled the smoke and panicked and shut the pc down.I was not heavy multitasking at the moment what could my problem be?
 
Solution
Take the rig apart if need be and try to find what burnt.
Visually, or by smell.
Do not try to run until you think you have found out.

My guess would be the psu.
