- I upgraded one of my laptops to 64 GB RAM today.
About an hour after I was done I smelled something weird.
Smelled sort of but not really like something burning, so of
course I assumed I screwed something up in the laptop and went into
panic tear down mode. I got it apart (after bending the frame
a bit because I was in panic mode) but didn't see anything really
out of place, melting, burning, etc. I put it back together, turned
it on and went outside to reset my smeller. I came back in and
there was still a weird smell...but then I noticed it was stronger
when I turned towards the kitchen from the dining room. Well, it
turns out that the AIRBnB I'm staying in has a gas stove (I'm used
to electric) and it was on with no flame!! Problem solved, but holy
crap
