I was gaming on BeamNG Drive when suddenly my PC shut off. After that, I noticed a burning smell. I opened up my power supply unit (PSU) but couldn't find anything that looked burned, and when I turned the PC back on, it seemed to work fine. Now I'm worried about using my PC again. Any advice on what might be wrong?

When you smell something burning from your PC, it's often linked to the power supply unit (PSU) going bad. It's a good idea to think about replacing it to avoid any further issues.
Is this a custom-built PC or a pre-made one? Depending on your comfort level with troubleshooting, you might want to have a reliable tech shop take a look at it.
That smell likely indicates a problem with your power supply or possibly another component like the motherboard. Turning it on again wasn’t the best move; definitely consider getting it checked out by a local repair shop.
It could be just a temporary issue that resolved itself, but I wouldn’t take chances. I suggest taking it to a professional to get a thorough check-up before risking your whole machine.
