I've been a passionate gamer for 2 months. I really enjoy playing Minecraft / Fortnite and similar games, but school donated my PC for the Zoom meetings. Sometimes when I start Minecraft and join a server, the game jerks and the PC starts to smell strange. There's minimal smoke coming out. My school can't help me either. I'm afraid that there's no lubricant or something else.
Can anyone help me?
Congratulations, your PC is smoking and is about to fail. I also bought an old carrot on Ebay and the capacitor was stewed through.
Why so pessimistic?
Perhaps it is an older model where data is still transmitted by smoke signals?
I've seen it myself. First malfunctions, then stench and then it suddenly went out because the capacitor on the circuit board was broken.
"Hot" tip for life SWITCH OFF SMOKING ELECTRICAL DEVICES IMMEDIATELY!
don't give up…
Am I the only one who is shocked at how little, especially in this day and age, young people are familiar with technology? The main thing is that when you press the button, the device turns on…
You are extremely fire hazard. I had a PC power supply unit on which the cables were pulled so tight with the cable tie that the insulation of the wires gave way at some point. It came to a short circuit. These are? 80 or 100 amperes the wires glowed and melted, plastic burned immediately. It's good that I was there. Nobody thinks of that, that the cable ties can pull so tight. If right, you shouldn't smoke on the PC
Don't use it anymore. Power supply defective or cable defective. Fire hazard.
SWITCH OFF and organize a proper power supply immediately!
