I have a Lenovo H4 series I5 core. My boys have been playing games on it a lot this past week, and today I noticed that it smelled like something was burning when I walked into my office. I had the boys turn the desktop off, and cleaned the fans. Seems that the burning smell is coming from the top fan in the back

If it comes from where the power plug goes in it's the power supply, if it's something blowing out from the fan by where you plug in your keyboard mouse monitor etc.... It's probably something other than the power supply. You can open up your computer and take a look inside, but I would recommend taking it to a repair shop asap if you can confirm it's coming from inside of the computer. Don't turn it on anymore also.
