Take apart the PSU and see if any of the components melted. Also while you are in there take the PSU fan out and spin it with your finger. Fans that are going bad won't spin perfectly and they may even have a grinding sound if you listen close.

I cut the wires on all my PSU fans and run them outside the PSU box and into one of the PSU plugs. This doubles the speed of the fan, but that really depends on your PSU. Most do not run the fan at it's maximum speed. Just be ready for the added noise, if that matters.
