So for the past couple hours, I had been smelling the burning plastic/electrical fire smell. I kept going around my room, checking my laptop, my lamp, the fan I have running, etc, and couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from. Last hour, my desktop computer froze 3 times, and subsequently, I had to shut it off and restart it. While I was doing work. The 3rd time I just gave it a couple minutes since I figured it may be slow, and then it went to a blue screen. No, not the BSOD, since it was a solid blue screen, that flashed and moved between several shades of blue. After checking a possibly faulty connection (which is not the case, but I had to check) between my computer and my monitor, I shut it all off. I then checked the desktop computer itself, and traced the burning smell to the power supply, the large box at the top of the computer right where I plug the power cord into. The thought has come to my mind that something may have shorted out. Thoughts?

The power supply probably went. It probably overheated since you kept your computer on so much and recording TWC constantly. Replacements aren't too expensive, ranging from about $30-$40 and up.

Yeah, I didn't think it was too expensive to do that. I've messed with the power supply before, so I could probably handle replacing it myself. Problem is, I don't know if the Power Supply is all that's wrong. Gotta wait for my dad to get back from near Benton Harbor to go out to Staples and have them look at it.

On a somewhat related note... anyone else confused if it's Friday or Saturday? I have had to remind myself at least 20 times today that it was Friday.

My break got shortened due to the snow days. I only have off today through Monday, instead of all next week as originally scheduled.  :hmm:

We always have Spring Break on the week of Easter, so next week would have been ours.

For me, it's always the first full week in April. Easter just happens to fall on the first Sunday of it. Like I mentioned earlier, we also got today off because it would have been pointless to have school.
