need troubleshooting help
HI,
I have a Dimension XPS T500 128 RAM.
Every time I boot my computer, there's a weird smell that comes from it. It seems like a burning smell but I don't know where it's coming from. I already replace motherboard, heat sink, fan. I have to hard drives installed. Could that be the reason?

I guess it's more plasticy smell. I haven't done anything to my computer. The smell is usually the strongest after booting and then kinda fades away. I can't say it's really a burning smell but it seems like something might getting overheated or fried but no smoke or anything and computer works fine.

Do you see smoke? How strong is the smell? did you do anything to the computer that you shouldn't have (say immerse it in water?)
We need more info...
