|
|
I went through and reconverged my sony 1272 tonight which went fine, I was playing with my center speaker when my computer turned off. I went and turned it back on and the video card fan came on at full speed and I smelled something burning in the pc. I shut it down and pulled the videocard and determined that the smell had been coming from it. Does anyone here know if the card is likely the problem or something else in the pc causing the card to do that? It doesn't seem like re-calibrating my projector could have any affect on the pc, hopefully just a coincidence. I built this pc last september and it has run fine. The video card is a MSI Radeon 4890. Any help nwould be appreciated.

If it smells like a duck, and sounds like a broken duck, then its probably the video card.
