...that I've been getting a whiff of ozone off my computer? I first noticed it about noontime yesterday. After shutting down the system and cleaning up a
bit around it, I restarted it -- less than an hour down -- and I didn't smell anything for the rest of the day. I left it running overnight and it was
fine when I woke up. (But it seemed to have crashed or locked up while I was taking Peggy to work, and I had to cold boot it again -- fortunately, Win 7
remembered exactly what I had open and to where, and put me right back there again.) Now, about three hours later, I suddenly smell that whiff of ozone again.
I can't really localize it -- I smell it as much or more in the air over the case as in the case proper. I suspect -- without much evidence except that
the smell is in the top of the case, mostly -- that maybe my semidead DVD-ROM burner might be doing it; I'm going to unhook its wiring next time I shut
down the system. But beyond that, I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions, warnings. etc.? Thanks.
