Your lucky. The last time my PC heated up it was a flame about 4 inces lokg
shooting up from the mother board.
Sounds like you cooked the board ot the power unit. Either way you have to
take it in and get it fixed or if it's an old PC, bite the bulit and buy a
new one.

For some time my pc case was getting very hot. I turned it off and let it
cool down and then resumed. Yes I know I should have done something about it
then. Alas , last week it shut down never to start again. When I plug it in
and press the start button , no response , not a gig out of it!!!. However
on the mother board a small red pilot llike light is on. Is it the cpu or
the power supply unit or the mother board ??? .
