Be prepared, and get ready, to read a book right now. So, I got a new GTX 760 and my PC isn't too happy with that. At first, my PC would just shut off completely when my settings were too high on a game. I bought the GPU about 2 months ago, by the way. So I just decided to not run crazy settings. Now, I started playing Warframe, and after for playing for 1-2 hours last night, I smelled something coming from my PC. I shut it off, and didn't turn it back on that night. Today, I cleaned all the dust out with a vacuum, and got most of it, but couldn't get it all on some of my fans, and couldn't get under my CPU fan, to my heatsink, which has quite a bit of dust.
I turned it on, put my fans to 100%, and browsed the web while I had MSI Afterburner and Speccy monitoring everything. I started watching videos in HD in 720, turned the fans down to automatic, and smelled the smell just a little bit. I turned the fans back to 100%, and didn't smell it anymore. Then did the same thing, and it's gone now, the smell that is. Even tried it with 1080p video. The temps for everything was alright, with 1080 video at 2x speed (60 fps) and the CPU temp was about 20-30, everything else 20, with the motherboard at 28. All the temps are in Celsius.
I was feeling pretty confident with everything, didn't smell anything, and opened up Kerbal Space Program. Everything was good, temps were good, fans at 100%. Then as soon as I got to the title screen, my monitor went completely black, and my fans went very loud, keep in mind they were at 100% before, so they were at hyper speed. I didn't want to stick around to see what would happen, so I manually turned off the PC by holding the front button for a few seconds, then let go of it to turn it off. Thinking about it, maybe that didn't even do anything and it turned off by itself.
