My monitor made a wierd sound about five minutes ago and now I can smell a slight burning. Is it possible that dirt and lint got in there burnt up and made that scent or is my computer starting to burst into flames? I need any help you can give RIGHT NOW!!!

I was off work yesterday and teachers are on strike so I slept all day and that has enabled me to stay up 17 hours and counting. I will let you know how long I lasted before I go off to sleep.

My cd-rom made the same sound right after I posted the topic but it didnt start the burning smell. It has been screwy since I brought it over from Hawaii. It probably got banged up good.

Better your monitor then your computer. Monitors are pretty cheap to replace. But, like Sir Tainly said, just turn it off for a while.
