| Very Noxious Fumes out of new computer I just finished to build my computer. At power up I noticed some noxious fumes that soon filled the room and was impossible to breath. Hoping the fumes will go away this is the third day of it and doesn't seem to go away...it is as strong as the first day. My suspect is the power supply ever since it has capacitors that heat up a lot. But the fumes are totally invisible and can not tell where they are coming from because the entire computer is filled with it. Have anybody had an exp[erience with this before?...Thanks.

| uhm; this does not sound (smell?) good, most likely an overheating PSU; do you have means to swap it out?
