PC Smoke
Quad Core Desktop Windows 7 PC been running for several days.
Today plug and unplugged USB drives to make a copy to USB Drive. Started the copy and the screen went blank and the room filled with smoke. Smelled like burning resistor (I think). I have smelled that smell before. Turned off the PC power. Turned on the fans to get the smoke out. Smoke detectors did not alert. What are typical failures to look for? Please give suggestions. First I need to figure out how to get the cover off. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
