Last night during my WoW raid I commented on a strange smell in my room and then my pc powered off suddenly. I thought maybe it was a power surge of some kind but nothing else in my room or even that outlet area had turned off. So I booted it back up, did a cursory check over of the event viewer, nothing too abnormal, just an improper shutdown error. So I get back in the fight anddddd the smell starts getting worse. We finish the fight and I get my mom to assess the smell with me and we agree: strong stench of burning rubber in the corner of my room where my computer is.

I popped outta raid, shut the thing down, and searched for the burning source. Can't find anything in particular that smells or looks any worse than anything else. GPU seems fine, smells fine, and is fairly new, so I'm confident crossing that off the list. My other big problem area would've been my CPU, but I checked it and it all seems normal. Thermal paste is still spread and damp, even. I personally think it might be inside a fan, but haven't powered it up to look at it. Tomorrow a friend of mine is gonna come in and look at it with me to try to determine if it is a fan, and if it is we can probably replace it cheap from his store, so fingers crossed it's just a fan. Hopefully not the liquid cooling one on my CPU, since that's gonna be the expensive one, but knowing my luck it'll definitely be that one.

So yeah! Fingers crossed Sebastian isn't actually on death's door, because if he is that isssss unfortunate, because it means I can't even use the tablet I just got repaired and am still paying for lmaoooooooooooo(o's into infinity)

Edit: Upon further inspection it seems like the problem is the power supply. It's the only thing that still smells like burnt rubber and it STINKS. It also lines up with everything that happened; weird stink, cold shutdown, stink intensifying over time after having been turned on, stink dying down after having been turned off. Unfortunate, but at least I can replace it for around $100. Just sucks because it's non-mod so I'm gonna have to unplug EEEEEVERYTHINGGGGGGGGG BLARGH

Edit edit: PSU replaced, weird stonk is gone. Hoorayyyy! *sets fire to $120* the evil is defeated
