Just got worken up by the smell of fire. Not smoke but a eltronics burning smell. I thought my computer had blow but then i realised it was coming out side. Then i thouhgt SHIT garage. Nothing, but the brezze picked up and it was really strong. hmmm wonder what it was. Should be in the news?

Dayum, that would scare the shit outta me...

that happened to me one night. was on the pc with my door shut, walked into the lounge room and all i could smell was fire, like id left the iron turned on burning clothes. freaked out! tried smelling all the electricals, the tv, fridge, my pc, my flatmates pc... the lot. couldn't smell it coming directly from anything. and it went away?

 

Must have been a neighbour, but it didnt smell on the balconY :locked:

Lol thats like the random banging sounds me puter makes. Sounds like the power supply blowing up (yes ive done it). But alas its probably just a creature inside it or sumthing.

did you smell your flatmate?..

 

:locked:

So did you work out what it was Jason?

Yes i've blown up a power supply before scared the shit out of me, bang spark and a cloud of smoke... just because i was young and stupid and didnt know what the 230/260 switch did :jamie: I worked out the hard way.

 

On a off topic comment since i did that it would have surged the motherboard etc. and make the whole computer f@$ked, yes? Or does the power supply take the hit for everything?

 

By the way, what did it end up being?
