Your PC was functioning normally until recently, and you suspect a BIOS setting might have caused the issue. Opening the case revealed smoke, which is concerning. You’re worried and need guidance right away.

The location is quite costly, but fixing individual components might be a better option. Could the power supply damage the entire PC?

RIP psu... opening the backplate often provides improved access to the power supply and any associated odors.

By design, but consider sending it to a repair shop or obtain a different PSU for testing.

Absolutely, I checked the GPU on a different machine and it still has that smoky smell.
