I recently assembled this machine, but it ran for about an hour. Then I noticed a burnt odor, and the CPU light turned on. It stopped working completely—anyone else experienced this problem?

It might be the CPU, but also the motherboard, power supply, or another part could be the cause. The CPU light indicates the motherboard suspects the CPU is faulty, though it could actually be related—such as insufficient power or a malfunctioning PCIe device. You'll need more detailed troubleshooting to identify the exact issue. If you detect any odor, try locating its source to determine if it persists.

You can check by looking at the label or markings on the motherboard, verifying the part number and model, and confirming it matches your build specifications.

If you lack nearby devices for exchanging components, troubleshooting becomes tougher. Because you mentioned a burning odor, check the components for signs of damage—charred areas, blackened spots, or a smoky scent.
