after i turned on my pc for about 5 minutes it turned off automatically and the video card smells, my pc is only 2 years old, i m using quad core,4 gig of ram and a generic power supply, what do you think is the problem?|||if it is just the VGA that smells burnt it has most likely burnt out due to overheating. Does it have a fan or a heatsink? If a fan then it has most likely stopped, if a heatsink then perhaps a voltage issue occured or more likely just a component failure.
replace the card, if you can get the PSU tested for voltages, or get a better VGA card and replace the CPU anyway.|||i would check all the power cabkles that go to the gfx card since if you dont have the power going to it it may fry out.
also re-apply thermal paste to your gpu cause it might not getting full connection and be heating up which can kill the board from warping cause of the extra avoidable heat. also clean out any dust particles that may be on the board and make sure your fans are working correctly by monitoring the temops and looking at the fans pm.
most fans should eb running at about 5400rpm or somehting like that different fans mean different speeds so should check it out online for that version of fan.|||It might have shorted out or something. Turn your computer off, unplug it, and remove the video card. Check if the capacitors (the relatively large "studs") are intact.
