This happened to my dad’s computer (with a genuine Intel motherboard). He was just using it as he normally would, and smoke started billowing out of it. I imagine there was a frantic struggle to turn the thing off, and get it the hell out of the house, but I don’t remember all of the details. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t support my theory that it’s best to just leave computers on all the time, though.
